[xiphos-users] Install Xiphos 4.1.x on Ubuntu 18.04

[laurie]

Hi,

Thanks for that, - I must have cross posted regarding a successful 
build  ...  I still used the standard


./waf configure --prefix=/usr --debug-level=optimized --enable-webkit-editor


But for some reason, it recognised it correctly - I'll keep the "gtk=3" 
in mind if I run into probs on the install on my pad !


Thanks
