PC linux OS compiling and or installing
I am running PC linux os v 2.21.2 and i am not sure which packages i need, the wiki doesn't help quite as much as i would like due to the small differences between Ubuntu and PCLOS. Can i have a small amount of help of which packages i will need which aren't supplied in the wiki or aren't in PCLOS. I can't use the repo due to the fact that dial up is my only for of internet use. Please help.

If you look in the download section of this project at GNA, and look at the devpack, it lists all the libs.a human wrote: I am running PC linux os v 2.21.2 and i am not sure which packages i need, the wiki doesn't help quite as much as i would like due to the small differences between Ubuntu and PCLOS.

Either that, or you can run ./autogen.sh or ./configure, and it should error out if it can't find a required lib.
and it ends here.

Re: PC linux OS compiling and or installing
The CONTENTS file in the mingw32-devpkg lists the included libs, yes. Some of them are exclusive to Windows though and might not even exist (or are not installable) on Linux. Eg. libintl is included in glibc, and thus cannot be installed on a Linux system.Buginator wrote: If you look in the download section of this project at GNA, and look at the devpack, it lists all the libs.
And you also shall not use the libs in the devpkg, since they are for Windows only.
My advice would be to look through configure.ac and see for which libs it checks. That's what I usually do when compiling other people's software.
