For example, the latest beta version (14.1.4) builds more-or-less out of the box on Linux systems. I say "more-or-less" just because the Makefiles are FreeBSD-specific. But you can build it by hand quite simply by going into 4 subdirectories in the right order and typing "m3build" Other than the issue of the Makefiles, there were no problems reported for Linux. The main difference (from a portability standpoint) between 14.1.1 and 14.1.4 is that I included the necessary bits of "libmd" in 14.1.4. People on non-FreeBSD systems always had trouble getting that part built before. 14.1.4 is in the BETA subdirectory at the standard distribution points. It's really called beta only because I had a few more features I wanted to put in before making a full-fledged release. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
