Hi Will
I having a compilation error in Ubuntu 12.04 related to a non matching
problem with function Fl_PNG_Image::Fl_PNG_Image(const char [17], const
unsigned char [152311], long unsigned int)’
Let me know if you want me to file a bug in sourceforge or maybe you prefer
to use the yoshimi-user list.
I know Ubuntu 12.04 is an old system but It works very good for me...
Thank you
Diego
