[Visualpython-users] Ubuntu Intrepid version for VPython 5.0rc1

[Guy K. K. <g....@ma...>]

Hi,

I have just undergone compiling VPython for my Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) 32 bit 
system. For my own sanity and convenience I have created a Debian package for 
it using checkinstall. So it's just a dirty fix, with no dependency tracking, 
etc. ... but it does help already quite a bit for myself.

What made the build particularly bad is libthreadpool, which is only offered 
in version 0.2.5 for download. So it took a bit of searching paired with trial 
and error until I could build VPython on my system with the shipped boost 
libraries (1.34.1). If you wanna use it, make sure you install dependent 
packages yourself, as this package won't help you on this one. I know off the 
top of my head that the packages libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2 and libglademm-2.4-1c2a 
are required (besides the obvious of Python, boost, etc.)

If anybody is interested, it can be found here:
