Well, the problem is that if you're about to build *any* program from its source code you're expected to have the developer's toolchain and the development packages (libs and header files) of all the software used by whatever piece of software you're about to build. So the sutuation you're observing is normal. The way I deal with situations like this (and, I presume, everyone else does this too) is to set a virtual machine running the same version of OS your server does then install all the development stuff there, build the package(s) and then transfer them to the production system and install (or you might even set up an internal package repository on your LAN and make the production system use it). This way your production system is not contaminated with irrelevant packages. 1. http://serverfault.com/a/81365/118848 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
