Building glimpse-4.18.6 on CENTOS 7 fails looking for flex lib (-lfl)
Flex is installed.

Solution:

Winter is coming....

Its going to snow this weekend . Summer seems to have gone on since early April.  The past week I've been warming up the truck and driving in. Changed the oil on the motorcycle, put stabil in the gas. Did some Christmas shopping. Feeling a little bit ahead of the curve this time....

Brewing two new beers, an IPA and a Red. Moved the red to a secondary fermenter and it will be ready to bottle on Sunday. The IPA takes a week longer in the fermenter. I bought two cases of nice vintage swing top Grolsch bottles with ceramic tops and replaced all the gaskets. Will be nice at the holiday party to have fresh home made beer in fancy bottles.

I got a 32 pound jug of Munich Malt Extract for a very good price.  I think I'll be making a Kolsch next. Looking for recipe suggestions.

Having a fun week at work, Spent the past week using Java  / Hibernate and  JFreeChart to graph sensor readings. Im temporarily jumping out of the low-level Embedded Firmware stuff and into the UI Jungle.  Working with some cool new dev tools: Karma, Jasmine,  Yarn, and Angular.
Using VS Code as an editor for TypeScript / JavaScript / HTML

Excited to be freshening up my HTML / UI chops after a long stretch of over the air protocols, SNMP Agent internals and kernel module bug fixing.

Jasmine is a test suite I'm working with, Yarn is a dependency management tool.
