    Hello Vincent,

    I just built Eugene's new GoldEd from scratch and it works great.

    Here's how I did it, step by step, so you do not have to rely on a broken script to install it on my Slackware 15 BBS server ('./' is ./golded-plus):

    1) git clone https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus.git

    2) cd ./golded-plus

    3) edit ./golded3/mygolded.__h using the instructions in the file; save it as mygolded.h

    4) mkdir ./build

    5) cd build

    6) cmake

    7) make

    Et voila! a fresh new build of GoldEd.

    I ran into a single warning from the GED source about an ignored attribute (harmless) and a few harmless warnings from ld.

    That's it, nothing else.

    I renamed the binary to 'gedlnx' from 'golded' to fit my existing scripts, chmod +x, and dropped the binary directly into my existing GED install. The new binary works great--I'm using it now.

    If need be, I'd be happy to make an installation video to help.
