Building Leafnode

2004-05-15 Thread Mark Brown
Could someone please try building Leafnode on Hurd? In the past it had a number of problems which caused it to fail to build but upstream reports that these should have been fixed. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Hurd system to test this for myself. Thanks. -- "You grabbed my hand and w
