Well, with some nasty /* */'s and some other changes in the source (mainly
include-files, they are just somewhere else - and yes, all those nice packages
like install and mkdirhier were supposed to be scripts) I was able to compile.
I still couldn't get the shared version up, and just trying with tetris I had
some bad experiences...
If you tell the damn thing not to care bout the colormap and just take all the
colors it needs, it does very little on intense backgrounds - well, it then
tries to have a brighter and a darker color, but with white or black or even
intense blue it fails completely, sometimes on both(!). Only on grey it worked
fine (so have a line "*background: gray3" ?-).
I think this needs a little tuning, and maybe I will be able to do so somewhen.
If you aleady did it, please let me know.
Thanks, goodbye,
Bernie
