Re: [Xnee-devel] Fw: xnee package

[Henrik Sandklef]

Arrrggg

 the copy command following the mkdir command uses DESTDIR.... why
didn't I update the command one line above when this was first reported :(

 It's fixed in CVS head. Can you take it from there? Download CS HEAD
and do the following:

      make -f Makefile.cvs

and then the normal

     ./configure && make
