Here's how I do it: # apt-get source gqview=1.0.2-1 # export CC=gcc-3.2 -Wall -O2 -mcpu=pentiumpro # apt-get --compile source gqview=1.0.2-1 # dpkg -i gqview.deb alternatively: # apt-get --compile source gqview=1.0.2-1 Note that the "=x.y.z-a" isn't necessary. There's a sid package named apt-src which automates it even more. I like the 2 step process, though... -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "Fear the Penguin!!" | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
