Well since nobody else here probably knows what it is, and I'm the "some guy" that wrote it (;)), what problems are you having? Error messages?

i just get lost with the install im not the sharpest knife in the drawer i must admit /other then ./configure make make install thats about all i can install lol would it ever have that kinda installer?

Would it ever have that kind of installer? No, sorry. I don't understand autoconf/automake well enough to adapt them to the way Qt works.

But, I don't think "qmake", "make", "cp dfGUI /usr/local/bin" is all that much more difficult than configure, make, make install... Then again, that's me, and I wrote it. So yeah.

JAMD has development packages, right? I'd assume so. You should only have to make sure you've got Qt 3's -devel package on your system, then set up QTDIR.

One quick way to do QTDIR is echo $(dirname $(which moc)/..); that should print a directory. export QTDIR=thatstuff should set up the right shell variable. Then do the qmake make thing.

If you pulled it down before the 18th (of Feb.), there's a bunch of gobbledygook in the INSTALL file about creating a default rc file first. Pull it down again (it's at the same place, with the same version), as the bug that required those steps was fixed on the 18th.
