Firstly, do a CVS update of the source tree. Then.......
<Open up a console>
<Change directory to the source tree>
make depclean # removes any compiled stuff
./configure # add additional flags (see ./configure --help) if needed
make # and watch the compiling ;-)
su # type in root password...
# NOTE! Might be a good idea to apt-get remove your .deb files
# at this point in time just in case...
Which- the ones that I've downloaded or some in particular? Is it the
same procedure to compile clanlib? I take it I have to do that first.
