I built dwt-linux sucessfully I think with "dsss build" from the dwt-linux directory
It built all the object files and reported no errors.

I then tried the same with "dwt-samples-8d49c4eb4800" which is how it downloaded .
Here I have got stuck with it compiling quite a lot of object files(mostly Tango stuff-47 in all) and then getting stuck looking for "-lXdamage"-below is the tail of the output.

So the build won't compile.
