This has been, still, and will continue to be Linux's DOWNFALL and GREATEST
IMPEDIMENT, software distribution...
I love Linux! Don't get me wrong... there are portions of the "culture" I
despise even more than that of the crap from msloth land...but this is getting
way tangetial....

This is always the issue with compiling... finding this stuff... when its not
listed outright..

That could be, and I thought about going that route as well... I just decided
to move binkd to ME! (Always about ME! :) ;) ) and be done with it....
I get where this whole ftn:ftn thing is headed, but in the REAL WORLD I am not
so sure that plan works...

Thanks for the info...as when I was at the binkd site it didn't outline this,
and my main machines are not setup for git/cvs/svn... I can spin up some VM's
in VMWare and play with it...
But honestly the few times I've been successful with compiling has only been
when there have been exact detailed steps aka Compiling for Absolute Total
Moronic Idiots! (I don't program in compiled languages, Python, BASH, php,
html, SQL, ECMAScript, pascal back in the day)
First install these dependencies ie:
sudo apt-get install stupidlib stupidlib-dev anotherlib anotherlib-dev
etc...
And don't even get me stated on RPM's and RH/CentOS! :) URRRGHH!
Thanks again for the pointes and tips, and info, assistance... when I get a lab
day to try this I will spin up a VM to give a whirl, maybe I can make a DEB for
14.04 ...
I am looking to see if maybe the 1.02 version deb will install... the hangup
seems to init-helpers and the version in 14.04 is not as updated as needed...
I have to make my mind up on if this going to be on a Pi locally or put it on
one of my VPS and rsync the file system or point off it...
Decisions decisions...
