how to compile trunk - linux

Post #1by wil » 09.04.2010, 05:56

the INSTALL file states
./configure --with-INTERFACE [*]
make
make install
there is however no configure file in the trunk
so how am I supposed to compile?
I am using Ubuntu 9.10

Thanks for that maybe it should be included in the INSTALL file.

I now get the following:
checking for deflate in -lz... no
configure: error: zlib not found.

zlib1g-dev version 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13ubuntu3 (karmic) is installed
I also installed libzlcore0.10 and liblz-dev but it did not help

Thanks

Solved: turned out it had nothing to do with zlib but that libgtkglext1 was not installed.
