Re: FBB and Fedora

["Neville A. Cross" <neville@guegue.com>]

Hello

I continue to look into how to install fbb in a Fedora box.  Apparently 
there is not much success in the GUI or X interface for FBB. I am 
editing the file ~/fbbsrc.704o/src/X11/Makefile

When I run make it complained about not finding -lXpm  For that reason I 
installed the following packages: imlib imlib-devel xpmdel

Then I added the following paths to the lines:
XINCLUDE =  -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/include/Xm 
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
XLIBS = -L/urs/lib/X11 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/share

In this XLIBS I inserted the news paths between the old paths and the 
modifiers or whatever the are. (-lXm -lXt -lXpm -lXext -lX11)

I am really shooting in the dark in here. The new result was a different 
complaint. I am wishing this means I am getting closer, but I really 
don't know what to think of it? The complain is related to MD5. I guess 
this is a kind of signature for the files. I can send the output if 
someone wants to look at it.

Probably it is time to take Rober Jenkins advice of: "Possibly you need 
to remove warning line from the makefile?" But I am not sure how to do that

I hope that someone may get any idea with my new tries
