libggi not working ...

Hello, ...

i was trying to make libggi work on my linux/m68k based system.

at first i had some problems with the configuration, libc.ver was not
found so i just touched it, and it did not recognize my system as big
endian, you should add both m68k and powerpc to the debian definition.
so i added a #define BIG_ENDIAN, and it compiled.

I find that the configuration process is not nice at all, you should
think about switching to a autoconf/automake configure process,
especially if you want libggi to be some kind of standard. or is there
some reason not to use it ?

Also it would be nice to have a libraries tarball and a kgicon tarball.

after building and installing libggi, i made the demo programs and then
tried to launch them.

but it did not work :( i will append the output of it and of checkmode,
the only demo programm that worked.)

i thought fbdev/fbcon was supported ?

Friendly,

Sven LUTHER
