Well the dependency is an installable package:
chris@chris-lucid:~$ apt-cache search "libpulse-dev" libpulse-dev - PulseAudio client development headers and libraries Since it's a development package relying on other development packages and not stable, I guess the devs have left the sub dependancies for the person doing the compiling to figure out. Just install the dependencies and try compiling again: sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev should do it Chris ----- Original Message ---- From: Tom Sparks <tom_a_spa...@yahoo.com.au> To: ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Sun, 3 July, 2011 9:25:49 AM Subject: compiling d1x-rebirth (Descent source port) for ubuntu 10.04 I am trying to compile d1x-rebirth[1] for ubuntu 10.04 here is the list of packages I need to install before i can compile dx1-rebirth gcc scons libsdl1.2-dev libphysfs-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libglu1-mesa-dev but i get stopped by unresolvable depends error libsdl1.2-dev: Depends: libpulse-dev but it is not going to be installed libsdl-mixer1.2-dev: Depends: libsdl1.2-dev but it is not going to be installed Depends: libsmpeg-dev but it is not going to be installed I has asked about the issue on dxx-rebirths forums at [2], still waiting a reply [1] http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/ [2] http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/frm/index.php/topic,1004.0.html -- tom_a_sparks "It's a nerdy thing I like to do" Please use ISO approved file formats excluding Office Open XML - http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html 3 x (x)Ubuntu 10.04, Amiga A1200 WB 3.1, UAE AF 2006 WB 3.X, Sam440 AOS 4.1.2 Wanted: RiscOS system, GEOS system (C64/C128), Atari ST, Apple Macintosh (68k/PPC only) -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
