Hey all,

So I am able to setup Linux to compile and use updated source code just fine,
however I'm not very good with simlinks, and do not seem to get it to work using
the instructions in docs for various reason being either I'm not running my
WWIV in /opt/wwiv or I'm missing a step in where the binaries are to be placed
when done.  As a result when I compile I find myself having to dig for each and
manually mv or cp them to my /dedicated/wwiv directory.

Does someone have a simple way they compile and locate binaries without using
simlinks?  I realize it may be a few of the .sh scripts that may require simple
fixes, however I am not sure.  I prefer to download the .zip of the latest
source, compile, and then move the binaries over.  I guess I'm old school that
way ...
