As a first time user of Raspian and the Pi, this has been quite a lengthy
learning experience.   After much reading I found and installed the “Synaptic
Package Manager” That allowed me to find and install all the packages needed
to
use “xmkmf”.   Once I had “xmkmf” installed, I continued to use SPM to
find and
install the needed packages to provide files such as Xatom.h that “xmkmf”
said
were missing during the compile.   With each stumbling block overcome, I was
hopeful that I might eventually reach a point of a complete compile - but
apparently not.

The latest compile (without any modifications to the source code) ended with
many errors that all stated the same thing about “*fd is a pointer..” The
first
error message is shown below.

______


In file included from readvmf.c:31:0:
readvmf.c: In function ‘getdata’:
readvmf.c:353:7: error: ‘*fd’ is a pointer; did you mean to use ‘->’?
     i = gzgetc(fd);
          ^
         ->
_______


It then exited with

_______

: recipe for target 'readvmf.o' failed
make: *** [readvmf.o] Error 1

______

As someone who only has experience in writing bash scripts, I am not sure I
will live long enough to do all the reading needed to fix those errors without
creating a bunch of new errors.


P.S.   After doing the above I came back here and noted your wiki link but I
think that page only suggested what I was doing here using a different set of
steps - unless I missed something. That is very possible.
