I have just spent a good half day unsuccessfully trying to compile GM. Why?
Because dependencies seem to go about 3-4 layers deep. I try to compile one
package. It won't compile because of a missing dependency. I locate the
package referred to and try to compile it. Same story, missing dependencies.
I can understand why it was useful at one time to have all these libraries.
Storage was expensive, etc. But now, storage is dirt cheap. So can someone
give me a rational explanation as to why developers simply don't include
everything needed in the packages they produce? For example, if I recall
correctly, Opera comes in two flavours - statically linked and dynamically
linked. The statically linked package is somewhat larger, but so what?
On any decent distribution, something like :
apt-get install gnomemeeting
will bring you what you want with no hassle.
