I tried to make xmcd from the package system, but I ran into the fact
that, while the package system is convienient, it's not too flexible. I
could not for the life of my figure out how to get it too look for my
lesstif stuff in /usr/local, which, if you ask me, is where it should be.
I've also given up on compiling any cd players since my Apple CD300(i?)
doesn't seem to work with the ioctl's for playing. The following turns up
when I try to run a simple program which reads the toc and does a msf
play. The program itself doesn't complain since the ioctl's appear to work
(they don't return -1).
