Darryl,
I had a real time installing the latest CVS build under Ubuntu
6.06 but
I did get it working. There were countless libraries and other
things I had
to change in order to get it working, unfortunately I did so much I
can't
remember half of what I did. There is an alternative solution if
all you
care about is running the latest version of Xastir, there is a way to
install it from Edgy's repositories. I found a tool called prevu on
the
Ubuntu forums that essentially allows you to backport applications
from Edgy
to Dapper. I did this lastnight and it worked flawlessly. The
latest version
is sitting the Edgy repositories(1.8.2)
If your interested in building completely from source, I can dig up
the
emails I have with solutions to some of the problems I had and I'll
try and
help as best as I can. I would eventually like to see this built as
a .deb
package specifically for Ubuntu complete with dependencies etc.
My xastir/Linux laptop went belly up, as soon as I get it back running
(or a replacement) I'll be putting ubuntu onto it, and its my
intention to do exactly this.
If all the libraries aren't present in binary form, I'm planning to
make .deb's of them and then to create a .deb of xastir itself. I've
to figure out how to replace the kernel on the livecd first :)
Then again I might just create a new livecd with the current/latest
version of xastir on there and with all options enabled. I've not
really made up my mind yet.. but a livecd does give me that warm
fuzzy feeling :)
