[Gambas-user] KUBUNTU 7.04, this might help others who are having difficulty...

[Stephen Bungay]

Greetings all!

    Having migrated to KUBUNTU from Fedora (where GAMBAS was successfully 
compiled many many times) I had some difficulty finding all of the 
dependencies for KUBUNTU 7.04. 
  On initial ./reconf-all there were some libraries that I really REALLLY 
wanted to use. Below is a table of the things the reconf-all said was missing 
and the names of the items to search for in adept to install them.

  NOTE- Anything left blank are items which I did not want so they are still 
disabled in my install of GAMABAS.

DISABLED                        Search adept for these
COMPONENT               items. Exact matches.

- gb.db.firebird
- gb.db.mysql           libmysqlclient15-dev
- gb.db.odbc            unixodbc-dev
- gb.db.sqlite3         
- gb.gtk                        libgtk2.0-dev
- gb.gtk.svg            librsvg2-dev
- gb.net.curl           
- gb.opengl             lib-mesa-swx11-dev
- gb.pcre                       libpcre3-dev
- gb.qt.kde                     kde-devel
- gb.qte
- gb.sdl                        libsdl-image1.2
- gb.xml                        libxml2-dev 

  After the components I wanted were installed I did another ./reconf all and 
a ./configure. They both worked with no errors so make was the next step and 
it fell flat on its face complaining that;

/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libdirectfb.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libdirectfb.la' is not a valid libtool archive

  Seems that some more dependencies were missing, although the configure did 
not seem to mind, make certainly did. Go to adept Manager and seek out and 
install the following, do them both because if you only do the first one make 
will fail on the second.

libdirectfb-dev
libaa1-dev

  Make then worked perfectly, make install went without a hitch and I now have 
the latest svn of the GAMBAS trunk (as of this writing) on my KUBUNTU 7.04 
box.
