Re: [PLUG] Perils of building from source?
|
Jon:
I'm clueless as to how to add this line to any makefile but I executed
the failed command in the directory and added the -lXft to the end of
the command and it worked just fine!
Once the program was compiled and installed I ran it. It reported a
buffer overflow and exited. Casey, you was right... the windmill won!
Oh Well, I Tried.
It's back to the drawing board for me. Maybe Bluefish is not so bad.
Thanks,
Eric
