At the last FreeBox class, a participant asked whether VL 5.9 has a typing tutor. Well, it doesn't. So I decided to get one.
The obvious choice is TuxType. There is no TuxType package at the VL 5.9 repository according to a search with the slapt-get package manager. The current stable source code is 1.7.0. I downloaded it and tried to compile it on Victor, my Vector Linux box. Configure doesn't throw errors, but make and checkinstall both throw a lot of warnings and crap out with the same error. Here is the make version of the primary error.
/home/tbrown/tuxtype_w_fonts-1.7.0/src/laser.c:320: undefined reference to `playsound'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [tuxtype] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tbrown/tuxtype_w_fonts-1.7.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tbrown/tuxtype_w_fonts-1.7.0' make: *** [all] Error 2If anyone is willing to download the 1.7.0 source and have a go at correcting the error, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll report the problem to the TuxType developers and wait for them to reply.
