I am trying to build max to run on my linux box from the sources at
sourceforge.net. I have been busy with "things" for the past year
or so, probably more than that now so I haven't tried building max
for quite a while. But when I did last time I had a faily well behaved
max running. Bo simionsen (sp?) (and others too) did an awful lot of
work to the source to get max/squish/sqafix to build and run on linux.
Now I have some time I thought I'd have another look at it and see if
I can get it going.

Mex was working last time around but I get errors on this install
that I can't recall right now and max is segfaulting at the moment
so I'll have to rebuild again. I'll try rebuilding on an older 32bit
box and see if I have better luck.

I ran Max in times past also, the 3.01 DOS version and later the
OS/2 version. It ran like a charm in both those environments. I
guess that is why I still try.. :)

Max is a dos program though, and I think that is where the difficulty
is. Linux is just too different to get these sources working. That's
my suspicion anyway. If I was a programmer I'd have a look and see
if it could be done but it's all greek to me.. :)
