Still a patch that won't make it into uqstream soon should be part of the SB script. It causes problems here and there, well check out my git build scripts for, I use ddraw hack for some programs, i use git for patching the source and script for build. and DIBEngine is a problem which cannot solved easily, it's complex piece of work, it needs to work with any display driver it's thrown at, and not let go of whet's not needed. -- Ozan, BSc, BEng _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/
