Development packages need to build emacs from source
I'm building emacs for the bzr sources but keep being told I don't have x development pkgs installed. I installed several xorg.*dev pkgs.. and a few others that looked like they might be what I need. But still getting the report from configure that x development files are not found, and offers to buils --without-x Anyone here who has built emacs recently that knows what pkgs I need to be able to build it?... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Have you tried `apt-get build-dep emacs`? (Note - you need the sources repo in your sources.list.) -- staticsafe O ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please don't top post.

Because emacs is already packaged for debian, you can use the existing build dependencies as a starting point. Use the apt-get build-dep package command to install the build-time dependencies for any package. If the bzr sources require additional libraries, you will have to look for those. -- regards, kushal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Development packages need to build emacs from source
Thanks to all. That `apt-get build-dep emacs' is great... thanks, I'd forgotten about that. Teemu posted the needed list... very helpful. As it happens, I'd already gotten lucky tracking down the needed pkgs (and probably a goodly number of unneeded) since my OP. I will know better next time thanks again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
