Hi technosaurus; Old thread, hope you still have interest in it.

As to configure options, saving all of them in a config. file would be good.
A config. profile file selector combo perhaps, the default config. at the top.

I`ve used the cli arguments to fill the source file and the user def. opt.
I need to set user def. opt.: --prefix=/tmp/apps.sq/mnt/( SrcFileName )
It conflicts with the checkbox: "--prefix=/usr" ( A saved config. would fix it.)

I need to compile apps. to run in the path setup by --prefix .
PCompile has lots of options, I understand some of them.
Some of the options might be useful for building apps. like this.

It seems to me PCompile is capable of building for other Linux distros.
I need to understand the options better. Are you willing to discuss this?
Perhaps by PM so your forum thread stays cleaner?

I guess I could revisit this a bit, maybe even add download support too. It needs smarter handling for cflags too (gc-sections sometimes breaks plugins and xml based UI.) and some tooltips explaining various nuances for each flag.

Download support? What repository?
I looked at Slack but I didn`t see many packages, maybe I missed them.
I tried with Debian but it`s a mess to try to follow dependencies.
Tiny Core Linux`s dependency tree files were complete.

A GtkDialog gui I made, lists package groups, then packages and it`s info.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant having an editable field for the source tarball's url (an edit box or editable combobox, with default as saved location if any exist). I recently made a xdialog progress meter for wget that would work nice.

I need to make a list of requirements first, so I can at least stub out additional features.

Hi technosaurus,

I am new to this compiling stuff and need a hand held help. I downloaded your pet and don't' know how to use it, So if you are willing can you help me.

I have lupu 528-004 and what two compile two programs. 1 fluxbox 1.3.2 and xiphos. Will do all the work for this just need help to get started.

I was able to do fluxbox through the terminal, but xiphos is way above my head.

Thanks,
