Re: [Adonthell-general] some error while building libltdl-dev is good at my end. The system is a 64-bit system, maybe its not looking for 64-bit path systems.

Nope, that's unrelated. Must have been something you did on your side
that fixed compilation.

Here are all your contributions.

I didn't notice any new pages when you uploaded the editor images. Did
you forget to save your edits?

It's only there for dlgedit at the moment:

  
http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Tools:Dlgedit:Editing#Command_line_switches

Each tool prints a list of supported options when invoked with -h
(although I have to confess they are a copy from dlgedit and thus not
completely true. I'll fix that ...

There are no concrete examples, however. These could go below as
suggested, or into a more specific Compiling Tools page.

No, but they don't have to be compiled (or installed for that matter).
Just point to wastesedge using the -g and -p parameters. I.e.
adonthell-mapedit -g /path/to/ -p wastesedge. (The key difference
between invoking the adonthell engine and the editors is that for the
engine, "wastesedge" is the game to open, whereas for the editors it
is the project directory and the file to open is somewhere inside
there.

Yes. I'd like to see a general getting, compiling and running tools
page somewhere linked from here:

  http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Tools:Contents

And then for each tool there would be a set of pages like we have for dlgedit:

* Purpose and some background info
* Tutorial
* Reference

My hope is of course, that somebody other than I writes that stuff (or
at least starts it), as I know how things work and thus will fail to
explain everything in enough detail.
