apt-get build-dep is an easy way to get most of the dependencies for building from svn on debian.

I doubt people with svn write access refer to them very often. -- 28 70 20 71 2C 65 29 61 9C B1 36 3D D4 69 CE 62 4A 22 8B 0E DC 3E _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
