Re: [Kdiff3-user] Binary for Solaris 10 x86, to run with Sun Freeware KDE package?

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi Juergen,

When there is no precompiled binary available, could you please tell me what 
kinds of problems you encountered during configure, make or execution of 
KDiff3? Perhaps we can solve them together.

Cheers,
Joachim
