Hi,
just downloaded and installed the above, to see how well graphics
were supported on unix/x (long time not been there, as I work mostly
on Windows+Cygwin these days..). Works nicely now, but there were a
couple of tiny showstoppers on the way:
1. both tarballs are riddled with dos-style sources,
which causes all kinds of strange errors during a
Solaris configure/make attempt;
recursively applying dos2unix to the rescue (and
resetting execution permissions afterwards..), but if
it's a unix tarball, why do I have to do this?-)
2. soe assumes gmake, which may or may not be the
default make (and the default make may not know an
awful lot about make -C and suchlike;);
soe make, as per Install file, does not actually
install anything. I actually like that (just put
the soe/graphics/.. directory in the hugspath),
but it's slightly surprising, as the document
suggests that things might appear in $HOME/local/..
Nice work, though. Now I've got to revive some of my projects that
were put on the pending list due to lack of portable graphics..
