Mike,
If a bungling dunderhead old fart like me can have a few compiling successes, then you can to! Seriously, it is intimidating at first, but then once you start banging on the keyboard telling it to "MAKE" and stuff like that, you start to think "hey, I can do this!' Seriously, it is not hard to give it a go and doesn't take that much time. You spend more time typing out replies here than you would if you'd give compiling a go (but, hey, maybe that is all of ours' secret intent---to connect with others across this blue orb of ours). Anyhooot, when compiling, the only question is not only whether it (the compiling) succeeds, but more importantly if your creation works how it is supposed to lol! And you'll know that lickety-split once you load it in and see. That's the fun, and when it does work, my Lord, the beer tastes that much sweeter that night
....and don't worry, Musher (and Geoffrey & others) says this reply to everyone. They throw us in the big darn compiling ocean and then sees if we sink or swim. They haven't let many of us drown...at least not yetCompiling an executable for Puppy is as easy as learning to swim: you dive in and you do the dog paddle! Wink
