- I hope to God this isn't the wrong forum, but I was hoping someone could
- give me some advice... I am stricken with the plight of full time summer
- school ( 5 courses!) and they leave me with lots of time at the
- university. To fill in this time, I have recently been fiddling with
- the x-windows systems. However, there are two problems:
-
- 1) there isn't much to play with
- 2) I try compiling my own stuff with imake and make, but the damn software
- insists that it needs some widget class library?
-
- I got alot of software from gatekeeper.net.com /pub/X11/contrib,
- but it seems that most of the stuff requires some widgetclass stuff.
- Not being much of an x-windows master, I am only adept enough to be
- able to modify the imakefile. Beyond that, I am hopeless...
-
- My question is: Are there any good programs or games available out
- there that might keep me busy? I have seen xtrek, and it is quite good.
- Unfortunately, it's not quite so fun to play on your own and I've already
- gotten pretty bored with it. Any other ideas or suggestions? I'd appreciate
- all and any you might have.
-
- thanks in advance muchly,
-
