LT: Yes. To me, Linux on the desktop has always been the most interesting
goal. The primary reason for that is simply that it?s always been what I
want (I?ve never wanted a server OS?I started out writing Linux for my
own PC, not to be some file server), but also because all the
interesting problems always end up being about desktop uses.
Linus is talking about himself there.
Say Chris, have you ever had any luck using xmkmf and then make on third
party software source?
I've tried to get a very simple program to compile thru make after xmkmf
on three different oses.
Each stopped at MSimpleProgramTarget(progname) complaining about missing
separator.
This is inside the Makefile and the Imakefile has it there as well. The
references on line say
that a missing tab character is the fault... but if I tab the line at
fault, a new error comes up on that
same line. This does it in os x, Solaris and Linux.
