Ok, ok. Those who know more than I do. Today. I'm trying to compile and
install kalarm, which I have downloaded and decompressed. Now the
instructions go as follows:
cd kalarm-1.1.6
./configure
make
[ Log in as root ] <- !!! HOW !!!
cd /path/kalarm-1.1.6
make install
My question is. How does a Cygwin user (without a root account) get
round this kidda problem?
Please resist the urge to flame. (Some of us are just new, that's all.)
Thanks,
