Run ./build.sh EXAMPLE to distribute needed files to package's root directory. After that, go back to .. and run ./configure and gmake, then start the application. Before compilation, fetch the data files by using build/pkget.sh script if you haven't done so yet. Run this in package root directory (where the configure script is): $ ./build/pkget.sh Example steps for compilation (in this directory): $ ./build.sh gui_vesmir $ cd .. Then run configure and gmake: $ ./configure --prefix=`pwd` \ --with-libiconv=/where/is/your/libiconv $ gmake $ ./gui_vesmir Do not run 'gmake install' for examples. You need to run configure again if you try another example.
