Hi Pierre,
If you are using Ubuntu/Debian then I think you need to installed the
-dev version of the dependencies. These versions of the packages come
with all the necessary header files.
For example, the dependencies page lists libboost. On Ubuntu 9.10 you
would install:
apt-get install libboost-dev
The same goes for other packages. For example "libgtkmm-2.4-dev" for gtkmm.
To compile from the latest git source, the following list of packages
are *hopefully* all you need (Ubuntu 9.10).
# compiler, and stuff
apt-get install build-essential
# to generate configure/makefiles when building from GIT
# not needed if you have a source tarball
apt-get install libtool automake autoconf
apt-get install libboost-dev
apt-get install libusb-dev
apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev
apt-get install libglademm-2.4-dev
apt-get install libglibmm-2.4-dev
apt-get install libtar-dev
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
These dependencies will give you the backupgui and boost serialization
support. For opensync support, there is a host of other packages that
must be installed (sorry I don't have any experience hacking the
opensync support).
If you just want a minimal build of barry then you can get away with:
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install libusb-dev
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
And finally, if you are building from GIT you will need to generate the
configure script first.
git clone git://repo.or.cz/barry.git
cd barry
./buildgen.sh

Hello someone,
I'm struggling to initiate a development environment for Barry, which
seems a little harder than I foreseen.
Be aware I'm just a beginner in GNU/Sourceforge, etc.
I'm conscious I lack a basic culture (mine stands rather in
mainframe/Microsoft developments in management softwares, which also
offers some complicated issues, but of a completely different nature).
I have (a few) problems with some items of the dependency page :
Example (the worst, I hope): "boost version 1.33 or higher"
Synaptic does not propose any "boost*" package,
though numerous "libboost*" ones, with such versions as
1.35, 1.36 etc.
According to http://www.boost.org/ I do:

`./bootstrap.sh' prepares Boost for building on a few kinds of systems.
Usage: ./bootstrap.sh [OPTION]...
Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit
--with-bjam=BJAM use existing Boost.Jam executable (bjam)
[automatically built]
--with-toolset=TOOLSET use specific Boost.Build toolset
[automatically detected]
--show-libraries show the set of libraries that require build

that can be used with --with-libraries or
--without-libraries), then exit
--with-libraries=list build only a particular set of libraries,
describing using either a comma-separated

[all]
--without-libraries=list build all libraries except the ones listed []
--with-icu enable Unicode/ICU support in Regex

--with-python=PYTHON specify the Python executable [python]
--with-python-root=DIR specify the root of the Python installation

Installation directories:

______________________________________________________
Then, I rest on my heels, somewhat lost in deep (even uffish) thoughts.
Could someone please sent me the proper boost command to issue
(eventually one that loads ALL),
and same for some products that look obscure to me,
such as gtkmm, glademm, glibmm...
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I feel that, once this dependencies problem solved, things will go
fine and easy (but all my familiars consider me as exaggerately
optimistic).
I'm sorry to bother (even bore) anybody, but I guess someone could
save hours (days ?) of trials and errors in just a few minutes, so
avoiding my Snark to be a Boojum.
Later on, I'll undertake a good [auto]education, but by now I need to
go quickly to some tests.
Cheerfully and hopefully,
Pierre
