I would like to start with some simple 'hello world' console programs, then move to simple Xwindows. But the build procedure looks very complex, as well as include files for X. On my amiga, makefiles were simple, and i had a separate floppy for each project with a makefile that did everything i needed. But 'make' has gotten quite a bit more complex. -=> jm <=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
