I'm interested in doing GUI development on FreeBSD (or at least something that uses CVS), and I'd like to use something like Anjuta. The problem: the GNU autobreak^Wautotools fail almost immediately upon trying to generate a new project. I know that they involve black magic and voodoo the kind which even Gandalf the White avoids, so I haven't even thought of fixing them (if I knew the hackery needed to fix them, I'd write my own IDE). Is there any tale of an intrepid *BSD hacker winning the battle with these accursed tools? My glimmer of hope rests on the fact that Anjuta, KDevelop, and others wouldn't be in the ports tree if they didn't work for someone, somewhere out there. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Please CC me in all replies, even if I'm on the relevant list(s). --UlVJffcvxoiEqYs2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAIHMmk/lo7zvzJioRAqp7AJ9HkJeEx+cHUPvSE69I3xdf+/V9mgCgs4UX iw3M8duKD1buAj//yeeh4Bg= =vEHC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UlVJffcvxoiEqYs2--
