Hello Renze,
Yes, it would be great to propose also a 64bits version. You can build the
package like that :
1) be sure these packages are installed :
g++ tcl8.5 tcl8.5-dev tk8.5 tk8.5-dev libsnack2 libtk-img build-essential
zlib1g-dev checkinstall
(I will check tonight if g++ is useful, because 'build-essential' may
contain g++)
-> You can use Synaptic or you can install everything by using this command
line :
sudo apt-get install g++ tcl8.5 tcl8.5-dev tk8.5 tk8.5-dev libsnack2
libtk-img build-essential zlib1g-dev checkinstall
- 'Checkinstall' will create the '.deb' file
- build-essential : various components to build softwares
- other files : librairies used by SCID (dev libs and bin files)
2) Download and unzip the source files. Next, open a terminal in this SCID
sources directory.
3) execute in the terminal :
./configure
=> it will check if you have all the requiered libraries to build SCID
make
=> it will compile SCID
sudo checkinstall
=> it will create a .deb file and it will install it.
When you execute checkinstall, you have to fill in some fields :
-> version : 3.7.3
-> the dependencies : tcl8.5, tk8.5, libsnack2, libtk-img
4) If everything works well, the SCID package should be installed on your
computer. The .deb file should be available in the source directory of SCID.
If you need help or more details, you can contact me directly :

Best regards,
François
