[Cuis-dev] Big Fun on Linux was ( Updates to VectorGraphics and precompiled MacVM)

[Gerald Klix]

Hi folks, Hi Juan,

AMD64 Linux version is here:

https://www.klix.ch/haver/releases

It's the file
'5.0-202105210801-HVR_MVP_ALPHA3_VEP_2021-06-02.tar.xz'

This time I did not forget to strip the code.

Please note:
I only tested it superficially:
Seems to work, but the Morphs using the
VectorEnginePlugin have colorless halos;
especially the halo-icons all have a white
background. All other halos behave
nominally.


HTH and Best Regards,

Gerald

PS: Building this stuff is a bit annoying;
I had to patch VM-Maker again.
