[sword-devel] X11 install mgr question?

[Willem van Engen]

Hi,

I have tried to compile installmgr for X11 too, but it couldn't find the
VCL library. And I haven't been able to build it, the Makefile in
apps/X11/VCL just starts building in sword's root. Has anyone ever
built libVCL on linux/unix?
