hata_ph, stretchedthin,

When time permits could we get an update of the bluegriffin package in the repositories?  Bluegriffin recently came out with ver 1.4.1.

ok...will build it soon

sledgehammer,

Bad news on bluegriffon-1.4.1. It seem Bluegriffon-1.4.1 need gcc > 4.6.x to run. Currently VL7 is using gcc-4.5.2 which will cause error...

bluegriffin does not need gcc > 4.6.x to run. the bluegriffin binaries that are available from bluegriffin.org were built with a gcc that is newer than the one that ships with VL7, so to use those binaries we either have to upgrade our gcc or package a newer libstdc++.so.6 with bluegriffin.

Otherwise we would have to build griffin from source, which is what we should probably be doing anyway.

I try bluegriffon-1.4.1 on gcc-4.7.0 and it work. libstdc.so.6 is part of gcc-g++ package...
Bluegriffon did not provide the source code so I cannot build from source.

Ran through the steps included in the link above, including downgrading autoconf to version 2.13.
Got stopped with the following ...
checking whether the host c compiler (gcc-4.2  ) works... configure: error: installation or configuration problem: host compiler gcc-4.2 cannot create executables.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f client.mk build"

Didn't mean to cause a fuss.  I default to Seamonkey Composer for my quite limited web page needs.  Sometimes I use bluegriffin.  I don't have to use it.

gcc-4.2?

the most common reason for the "compiler cannot create executables" error is when the CFLAGS does not match the host ie, "-march=i586 -mtune=i686" on 64bit.

Don't worry, sometimes we take on these challenges just because it's there.  I am going to give it a rest for a bit though and catch up on other things.
