First results of 'trial and error'

Well,
I tried to compile several versions on a SUSE Linux 10.0 (with all the latest 
updates).

The original branch from Marks website did not compile at all. Too many errors 
here while compiling, some of them even red coloured...

Then I tried all the branches from Dustins {arch} distributions (--dustin, 
--cairo, --pixbuf).  Those compiled at least without any errors but some 
problems neverthelless. Note: I DID update all the patches via tla before 
building.

I get the following error message with all the packages (at make or 
make/install stage):

->
...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/PROJECTS/Y--cairo--0.2--patch-20/Y'
Making install in libYc++
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/PROJECTS/Y--cairo--0.2--patch-20/libYc++'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../Y/CheckBox.ycd', needed by 
`Y/c++/CheckBox.yh'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/PROJECTS/Y--cairo--0.2--patch-20/libYc++'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
<-

There is also a general problem with my setup, because there is the following 
message with configure:

->
...
Your linker does not appear to support C++ versioned symbols. It is probably
either too old, or not GNU binutils.

A workaround has been enabled that should permit libYc++ to basically work,
but you must avoid having two different versions of libYc++ installed at the
same time, and binaries linked against it on this system should not be
distributed.

However, the Y executable will be put out, but trying to start it does 
actually nothing, except to load the module into memory...

I'll see what I can do to get that working. Other projects I made recently did 
all compile and work right.

Maybe there is anyone, who has an idea for solving those problems above?
Most problems I have is all the autoconfig, configure and make stuff, because
such things are quasy nonexistent on Windows. It seems, that you are more 
bussy with telling the System via thousand different input configuration 
files, what it has to do or not to do on a Linux...
