    Has anybody sucessfully compiled Maximus source under linux yet?

    I have the source, but I'm not a programmer. Not sure how or what I'd need to compile it. I would like to though...

    Thanks

    Hello Charles,

    Has anybody sucessfully compiled Maximus source under linux yet?

    I did compile and run Maximus under linux somewhere around 2005. I didn't run it extensively but Max & Squish seemed to run well, without mex. Mex source either doesn't compile or doesn't run.

    I have the source, but I'm not a programmer. Not sure how or what I'd
    need to compile it. I would like to though...

    Last time I used updated files from sourceforge.net. You need two files from there and follow the instructions inside them.

    That was some time ago I did that, I don't know if the source will still build on todays OSs or not.

    Ttyl :-),

    ... All answers questioned here.

    Something I'll play around with eventually, maybe.. :)

    Thanks for the heads up!
