Hi,
I've managed to cimpile ossmixer. The thing that was missing from my
Makefile was the -lXext (I've seen this in the Makefile for qtez, a nice
RAD tool for qt). So, my Makefile has these lines now:
### Makefile for ossmixer 1.0 KDE Version

Hi.
There are two directories in the debian ftp site for java,
one 'sbb-port' and the other 'sn-port'. Can someone
enlighten me on what the difference is between these
two directories and the files contained in them.
Which one should I use for 2.0.33 debian 1.3.1r6?

Just a thought - when I compile and installed my own kernel, I used the
zImage kernel. I played with make-kpkg, and this wants to put the
files vmlinuz & vmlinux in /boot. Would using zImage instead of
vmlinux cause problems? How do I produce vmlinux from the kernel source?
