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.
