it works, but you need to be able to recognize what additional dependencies are needed for your machine, or code modifications for your distro (different versions of gcc have different ideas of what constitutes a build error, diferent versions of link-in external shared libs are a big one too - generally this is ether discovered by through examining compile-time errors and runtime errors...
it takes some work to get a functional build, but that is the nature of deve code, especially dev code from source repositories under active development. the currently implemented features are very compelling if you can get past the hurdles of getting a build, and all of the built-in objects are functional so you can do some patching with it. i'd say give it another try - good compelling and way to get knowledge of gcc, linking, etc. etc. too. the fine folks on #desiredata are very helpful for people attempting builds. regards - star On Tue, 2007-05-29 at 10:35 +0200, Damian Stewart wrote: > Chris McCormick wrote: > > > Yeah, I agree completely on all counts.
