Hi,

The new version of Upp is great! But the compilation wasn't straight forward here (Arch Linux).

I had to edit the TheIDE Makefile (easy and quick, but not simple).
Basically, I had to change all gtk related stuff (gtk, pango, cairo, atk) to `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0`. This solved the hard-coded includes.

The install section of the Makefile also tried to access folders that didn't existed (cp -r Bazzar (ok), cp -r Common (doens't exists), and the out directory for TheIDE was wrong.

Also, after the install, I needed to manually copy the packages, that weren't show in the list.

Resume: Upp rocks, but the compilation / installation process should be more simple!
