i installed g++ and ran make etc and freenetbootin is running
it warned me extlinux not found, but i can presumably get it if I need EXT2
thank-you! i will keep this thread as an example for future attempts to
compile things though no doubt the procedure varies...
can i ask at this point, how do I make shortcuts for menus or panel etc so i
can strat the application easily? there must be a guide somewhere - feel free
just to point/link
also can i move the compiled app? on osx if i want to move an app to another
computer i can simply copy the app (which is really a folder containing
binaries and supporting files) to the other machine and run it - is there an
equivalent procedure on GNU/Linux? it seems much harder to know where the
actual binaries are, and one can't just double click the app folder to run it
-but maybe that's just my ignorance.
