As you may recall from a recent post I've been trying to get nTop compiled and working on Solaris 10 x86. After 40 - 60 hours (I loose track) I *THINK* it's actually working for the most part. =20 Before certain people get pi$$ed off about this not being a Solaris list - chill for a sec! =20 I'm just looking for some materials that can help me understand the whole configure/make/compile/linking/etc. stuff. Someone that knew this stuff could've probably resolved my issues in a few hours. It seems COMPLETELY overly complex to me - maybe cause the developer tries to make it as portable as possible, but with every *nix like things putting files wherever they want, different cc's / ld's, etc. - I can see where it can get hairy. =20 Anyway, TIA for your input. Hopefully this experience and the references you can point me to will help the next time I try to get something onto FreeBSD! =20 TIA! =20 Gary <font size=3D"1"> <div style=3D'border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0i= n 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
