Hello. I have built console-apt and gnome-apt from source here, because I needed the debs (and that seemed much easier to me than browsing ftp.debian.org -- besides that, I like to compile things... :)
Anyway... I found that apt doesn't seem to know about dependencies related to -dev packages... The build of console-apt failed once, and that of gnome-apt failed twice, I think, because of these dependencies. And all I had were missing header files, so I had to guess in which -dev packages they would be. (It wasn't difficult this time, but I remember having some difficulties in the past with some other package). Anyway... Did I miss something? Is there a way to know what these dependencies are, or do we have to guess? I thought that, at least when called when the -b option, apt should download the -dev ffiles that I needed... (I understand that if this is really the way it works, it may be a lot of work to change it, since information aboit building dependencies would have to be added to packages) Thanks, J. -- Jeronimo Pellegrini Institute of Computing - Unicamp - Brazil http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~jeronimo mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
