Compiling the dpkg source package..

1998-09-22 Thread ninjaz
Hi, any chance someone could tell me the correct incantations for compiling dpkg from source? I've tried both the versions in hamm and slink, but the INSTALL file is just a default gnu configure one, and ./configure (it's installation instructions) does nothing useful. I also tried autoconf and

Since getting hamm updates today, nothing wants to compile.. everything ends up with a few pages of errors after hitting the first file. Are there any fixes out for this? libg++27-dev was not initially installed, but I tried plugging it in to see if it would make a difference, to no avail. (lib

KDE Beta2, which I've compiled and been using on my bo systems has been quite stable, with none of the problems you've mentioned (there was a problem with the SuperUser filemanager option because kfm wasn't in the PATH after the su, but a symlink to /usr/bin fixed that). However, I did have a vari

Thanks for the blazing fast response. :) Tried that to no avail (using accelx 3.1 and the SVGA server from 3.2 - just noticed I had that package on hold as I was using accelx).. after downloading the SVGA server from xfree86 3.3, things are working again. On Sat, 5 Jul 1997, Jesse Goldman wrote:
