Bob, Thanks. I did a comparison this afternoon of both. You are correct. I moved some time ago, and my previous experience hasn't caught up with current implementation.
Yuv, Yes, I found these dependencies (libxi-dev, libxmu-dev) this afternoon after searching my bash history. Thanks for finding them again and adding them to the wiki. Sadly I neglected to put them into the wiki upon discovery the first time. It's a good thing I was able to build the debs though, just think how useful they were to other people who weren't able to complete the build ealier. :) If there is no difference between apt-get and aptitude, let's change it to aptitude. This is afterall the preferred ubuntu way, and we are building for ubuntu according to the wiki. Sorry about the libwxgtk2.8-dev. It appears I may have accidentally deleted it when moving things around trying to get it to fit on a smaller screen using the / ... I'm glad you found it and fixed it. I'm also glad I was able to contribute some of the other missing dependencies. Thanks for explaining the hugin.hg.build. I merely changed it to be consistent with the rest of the entries without realizing "build" was there for specific build numbers. Perhaps we should add this explanation to the wiki. Btw, if were not using autotools anymore, perhaps we can remove it? I do intend to continue to distribute binaries. They provide an option for those not wanting to build to use new features. This is OSS, and that's what freedom is about. Isn't it great!
