Try the american mirror web site at <A HREF="http://freetype.sourceforge.net/,">http://freetype.sourceforge.net/,</A> you
will have access to the all the project home page.

I updated the INSTALL and configure.in file to change tha FreeType
homepage.

NeL is using the SGI iostreams, so i'm afraid that you will have to compile
it.

you could do a 'make -f gcc.mak clean' to delete all the ojects files,
it doesn't delete the library files ...

</I>
That's weird, it works fine for me :o)

The installation line is in the builds/unix/install.mk file (line 51),
Are you sure that the installation directory (ex: /usr/local/bin) is
in your path ?

&gt;<i> So I copied it in the nel pat, but root does not have &quot;.&quot; in it's path.
</I>&gt;<i> Now I try configure as user and get this:
</I>
The script is looking for freetype-config script in your path, it will change
nothing to put in the NeL directoty, if it isn't in your path ;-)


&gt;<i> The build process needs to be MUCH easier, if this game will ever come of
</I>&gt;<i> for Linux. Nobodies going to fiddle for 3 hours with it....or did I get it
</I>&gt;<i> wrong and level one is named &quot;./configure&quot; ? ;-P
</I>
Thanks for your suggestion :-)

We actually working on improving the documentation and build process, so it
&quot;migth&quot; be easier in a near future ;-)


Cedric.
