Hi,
I have been using Ubuntu since its inception. But recently I found that
I have to install lots of extra packages just to compile a GTK2 or Qt
application. Out of the box, Ubuntu cannot compile and link a program
written with FPC either. Same problems with using Lazarus IDE, or even
trying to compile the Lazarus IDE itself. A similar problem occurs if
you trying and compile the latest version of some Linux tool. eg:
Flamerobin (a Firebird DB GUI admin tool). With the latter, I get APT
package versions clashes, or it pulls in lots of unnecessary dependencies.
`apt-get build-dep flamerobin` will install all the necessary packages
to be able to build flamerobin from the source package. Installing the
build-essential package is also a must in most cases.
