Re: building x5250

I've tried on both Debian Etch (PPC) and Ubuntu Gutsy (i386).

First question - if I install tn5250 via apt, what do I do to make the tn5250 source available to the x5250 to build?
e.g. can I just throw the two folders of source code together? or?

If I actually ./configure && make && sudo make install tn5250, then when I try to do the same to x5250 during make I get (this from the Gutsy attempt)

Wow - I've never seen this before. That looks like corrupted files to me. Perhaps you could look at /usr/local/include/tn5250/utility.h to see if this is indeed the case?
