Re: [Osw-users] QSW 1.2.7 and Ubuntu

[Andy W. S. <an...@a2...>]

I have built OSW on debian several times with no significant headaches.  
I think there may have been some problems before in locating certain 
header files (debian puts some things in different places than the RH 
type distros do).  But I think the necessary changes were merged back 
into the configure script / makefiles.

Compiling the source from CVS is probably the best way to go.  I guess I 
just don't trust alien to do the right thing. :)  So far the CVS head 
has been stable.

Of course you will need to make sure all the right packages (and the 
-dev versions of each) are installed... tcl/tk, itcl / iwidgets, 
pthreads, alsa? 

Write to the list again if you get stuck....
