I finally got it to build by specifying c99 and hacking away at some 
errors but this is ridiculous. The docs are awful and totally 
non-informative. Having to struggle through a simple operation is 
indicative of a total lack of care and/or q/c.

I would suggest picking up a cheap Sun box and the Sun compiler (it's 
free for developers) and test this stuff before you send it winging its 
way into the world. Maybe even have someone who doesn't own a Secret 
Decoder Ring run through it first. *Anythign* is betetr than trusting 
gcc and Loonix.

"Free and Open Source" is lovely and all but if it means "crap that 
doesn't work", then I'll stick with proprietary and commercial. Even 
Mickeeysoft :(
