[K3d-development] Compiling on Debian

[Bart J. <bar...@po...>]

Hello

Some time ago, I saw someone on this list having trouble compiling the CVS 
code on Debian. It is not necessary to switch to another distro to fix this. 
Here is what I did to compile it all on Woody:

- Compile gcc 3.2.1 from source, using prefix /opt/gcc3
- add /opt/gcc3/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
- Compile the CVS version of libsigc++1.2, also with an /opt prefix if you 
wish (k3d wouldn't compile with the 1.0 debian package)
- Set the CC and CXX environment variables to /opt/gcc3/bin/gcc and 
/opt/gcc3/bin/g++, respectively.
- Proceed as normal to build k3d

Using this method, you can always have the latest gcc to compile k-3d, 
without having to wait for debian to release it as a .deb.

regards,
