I've been trying to compile my own X4.02 debs using "apt-get source". The problem is that xfree v4.0.2 has libglide2-dev libglide3-dev as build dependencies. I was able to build the .deb's for the libglib, BUT, they won't install because my debconf is too old for them (they want debconf (>= 0.3.74) while mine is 0.2.80.17.
I tried building debconf from unstable, but it fails in the following way: ,---- | dh_clean debian/debconf.changelog | dh_clean: Sorry, but 2 is the highest compatability level of debhelper \ | currently supported. | make: *** [clean] Error 1 | Build command 'cd debconf-0.9.22 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed. | E: Child process failed `---- This is is because debconf has a build dependency on a newer version of debhelper... I would really not like to get system utilities like debconf and friends from unstable. I'm wondering if I can get around that somehow... Are there apt-able sources for xfree4.0.2? Any other suggestions? Many thanks, -- Arcady Genkin Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
