[App_rpt-users] Limey

[George Csahanin]

Getting soooooooooo frustrated trying to compile Limey. Have tried 
1.1.5, 1.1.2, 1.0.9, 1.0.8, 1.0.7 keep getting similar but somewhat 
varying errors usually regarding texi. I have fixed two make file issues 
that are wrong in the buildroot distro. SO, I thought, maybe go and 
build the latest buildroot separately. IT has makefile or .config file 
problems.

Now I know I was able to do this in the past, maybe 3 years ago. That 
linux box I used crashed, drive went 10-7. So new one has Slackware 14, 
no dice on Limey/buildroot, tried Ubuntooo 14, 12, also same errors.

I saw Steve Rogers one time asked them about these same errors. But I 
see no fixes beyond references to un-obtainable patch files.

So most basic question is this: what platform has successfully built 
these particular Limey sources?

Here's a look at where it errors:

HALP! I have spent my weeks vacation screwing with this and I am not 
much closer than when I started (I now know of the four or so 
makefile/.config errors. Oh yeah, one more point was a suggestion to 
turn off the making of text files, since some of the errors surround 
that. Where? The config files in buildroot have three places for 
document, info manual files on/off, all set to off...

And people wonder why Microsoft has been successful... (THAT from a TRUE 
Linux believer since 1993)
