I tried to compile SEQ on a new box after transfering from another working system
After make -f Makefile.dist you get the following error
Makefile.dist:256: *** commands commence before first target. Stop
A search turned it up in thread: http://seq.sourceforge.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1717&highlight=commands+commence
but I didn't think it was clear what the solution was. Basically when FTPing the code, make sure to use the Ascii transfer, binary seems to be adding CRs or something. This of course doesn't effect CVS.
Hopefully next person who searches will find this a bit clearer.
