The FAQ is on the web: http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/jx/faq.html Important notes: There is a separate FAQ for each program. Look in the appropriate subdirectory of the programs directory. Source distributions that unpack into different directories (e.g. JX-2.1.0 and JX-2.0.0) are guaranteed to be incompatible. Contact the developer if the program that you want to build does not unpack into the latest version of the JX distribution.
