But the dependencies *are* listed, just before the (perhaps outdated) commands to install them. The list gives you the library name and minimum required version (if any). It cannot give the package names to install, as they vary between distributions (and perhaps even versions). Then again, I think most distributions have a graphical package manager, with search function (Yast for OpenSUSe, Synaptic(?) for Mint)... And make sure you install the required development packages as well.. There is a learning curve for compiling programs, but once you master it, you are a lot less dependant on packagers. When you run into issues, remember to look at the first error message listed, it's usually the most important (note: *error* message, information and warning messages are often less helpful). ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
