To build it run the spoon.sh script   but if you are win then look at content
and modify i to run on your system.


As to why it might be failing ====  if you do compile it ::

Look at file spoon.err for why but here  it shows multi lines similar to :


n file included from spoon.h:115,
                from spoon.cpp:40:
socket.hpp:73:10: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
#include "iostream.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
In file included from spoon.h:115,
                from config.cpp:38:
socket.hpp:73:10: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
#include "iostream.h"


Needless to say I do not have iostream.h but it does ring a bell just cant
remember from where .

Just did a search - here is is on a old partition and relates to fpc (free
pascal compiler) so not helpfull.


Does not help that what docs are with it do not indicate if any extra packages
/ libraries are needed.
