Well, I have started down the road of being a GNU Geek. I have Redhat 8.0 installed on a dual boot computer with Win2000. I am getting the feel of the KDE GUI and thought I was ready to play with the C++ compiler to get kermit's and my changes onto GRITS servers, thought being the operative word.
Here is the short version. Apparently to compile any half-life, an old version of the GCC compiler is required. I have found and d/l and now need to install. Next I will start trying to compile the Makefile but from talking to other coders on the HLCoder email list it will not be easy. I have yet to hear from anyone who has actually done it...not to say they aren't out there, they obviously are but it will not be a quick an easy process.
Just wanted to keep everyone up on what I was doing. Other than any server/admin fires, this is my number one focus.
