Re: [Flamerobin-devel] Compiled FlameRobin 0.9.3 Unicode

[Dalton C. <dal...@gm...>]

Interesting, I pulled that repo and attempted to compile it - sadly it is
broken for me.
database.cpp:1111: undefined reference to
`Packages::Packages(std::shared_ptr<Database>)'
(lots of similar errors referring to packages).

I was able to compile what was on the main flamerobin git, but, that does
not have boolean support.  That seemed to be a good starting place, I had
no idea that the main git repo was that far behind your dev cycle.

Let me know if you are able to compile the latest commit and I will pull
and try again.

best regards

Dalton
