Post the errors and/or compile log so we can look at this. I don't think you need to blow away your Ubuntu VM at all, just do a fresh from scratch extract and patch of xlog instead.

So I spun up a droplet on Digital Oceon running Ubuntu 16.04 and with the above change, and the following steps, I got it to compile.... # apt-get update # apt-get install gcc libhamlib-dev make libgtk-dev libgtkextra-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev # wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xlog/xlog-2.0.14beta.tar.gz # tar xzf xlog-2.0.14beta.tar.gz # cd xlog-2.0.14beta/ # vi src/Makefile.am - added in AM_LDFLAGS = -lm # ./configure # make and it did it. I'd like to say I'm really impressed at how there are NO compile warnings at all. Nice clean coding! But if you could get more detailed error messages from those reporting problems compiling, that would be a big help as well. Thanks, John

Andy, So what if you just putt the following into the src/Makefile.am file: AM_LDFLAGS = \ -lm I put it after the AM_CPPFLAGS definition up top. Seemed to do what I needed, but I haven't setup an Ubuntu 16.04 test VM yet to confirm. John

We'll see how far I get. :-) Busy with a bunch of stuff today and tomorrow, so it might be a few days...

HT Receiver
by Gary Hanley 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hello folks, I hope I'm not breaking protocol for posting this but I'm replacing my home theater receiver and looking to sell my current unit so I thought I would offer it here. I think it's a good deal for anyone who doesn't need the very latest HT specs. I bought it new for $1100 when it was first made available about three years plus ago and it works as good as the day it was purchased. It's a Yamaha RX-A1020 and the product page can be found here: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/aventage/rx-a1020_black_u/ As I type this there are new models on eBay for $699 and a used model for $550. I'm asking $500. The unit is still attached to my HT system so I can demo it for anyone who might be interested. Thanks everyone.
