Hi Karl,
I did it using rsync. It worked fine. Thanks.


I'm not exactly an expert to know how to build it. Therefore without
better knowing I tried

./configure --prefix=`pwd` --datadir=`pwd` --enable-multiplatform

That worked. Then I tried: make
and got: 

cd lib && make   -I /home/manfred/Documents/programming/make CC='cc'
CFLAGS='-O -pipe ' LDFLAGS='' make: don't know how to make /config.h.
Stop *** Error code 2

Stop in /data/dl/web2c.


The problem seems to be that in lib/Makefile  the variable
kpathsea_srcdir isn't defined and this gives /config.h for
$(kpathsea_srcdir)/config.h


I guess this is all my fault. If you could tell me how to properly
build it?
