I've tried the most recent version (0.86 or so): the GUI builder ran out of
the box (a bit tedious, as I have only monochrome X and no 3-button mouse),
but building a MkLinux application failed, because some "gl" routines were
missing (these are being called by the library). I have not yet looked into
why this happens, or what else should be installed.

Best wishes,

        Nico van Eikema Hommes
