Yes, thank you Sur_Behoffski!
The only reason I mentioned Ubuntu in my email is because the IUP
documentation says that their instructions are for Ubuntu systems, which
made me suspect that maybe IUP was developed to be used only on Ubuntu
platforms, and I'm not using Ubuntu. Your reply confirms that for me. I
never realized until I started using Linux that different Linux distros
are not inter-compatible, and that programs that work on one Linux
distro are not guaranteed to work on another Linux distro. Heck, even
some programs that compile on one distro are not guaranteed to compile
on another distro! I'm beginning to understand why now, and one of those
issues that I noticed was that not all distros conform to the Linux
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, version 3.0, by the LSB Workgroup of The
Linux Foundation.
For your information, the IUP documentation says "/*IUP's purpose is to
allow a program to run in different systems without changes - the
toolkit provides the application portability. Supported systems include:
GTK+, Motif and Windows*/", which is clearly not true. The documentation
needs to clarify this. As a Linux noobie, had I known known this was not
true, I would not have chosen IUP as a GUI framework, but if you are
going through all this trouble for me to get IUP to compile on MX Linux,
I will not make the switch for now.
Why are you being so nice like that Sur_Behoffski? That seems above and
beyond the call of duty, so yes, thank you so very much for your time
and effort!
Signed,
Andres

G'day,
I'm trying to help Anonymous build IM/CD/IUP with Lua 4.4.6 and
LuaRocks. This message documents some of the hoops that "lglicua"
uses to get things to work.
First of all, if you use the Tecgraf-supplied tecmake.mak v4.21,
then CD does not build... because of, you guessed it, incorrectly
inferring that Kernel 6.0.0 is older than Kernel 5, and therefore
selecting GTK2 instead of GTK3:
-- Snipped for brevity --
Okay; enough for this message, but we have skipped some earlier
details,
which we will deal with in the next message. Note that
tecmake.mak-v4.31
and iup-srcweb-config.mak are attached to this message, and are also
automatically applied if "lglicua" is used for the build.
cheers,
