Talk:LinuxBuildV2

From PyWiki

I'm adding troubleshooting pointers as a go through the process. I made them Ubuntu 8.04 specific as I don't intend to test on other distro, but these pieces may be useful to a wider audience. Should it be parceled to a section at the bottom as for GENTOO? --Bongo 08:03, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

Shouldn't the build use system supplied libraries

As far as I can see python-ogre builds all its dependencies itself this is in contrast to the policy most GNU/Linux distributions suggest. Wouldn't it be better to give a list of dependencies and depend on -dev{,el} packages. I thought about packaging python-ogre for Debian but I think the way it is built at the moment will be a maintenance nightmare.

Btw. shouldn't there be a source package at the sourceforge download page? Building from SVN with not even a tag for a "know to work" version feels a bit uncomfortable. --Jandd 14:05, 28 January 2009 (CST)

Minor Dependency missed

The installation requires pkg-config to work too, otherwise building cegui produces an error message. Minor, but might save people time. --Chancey 12:06, 10 August 2009 (CDT)

Build Problem Fixed

I also had an "unclosed token" error when building cegui. Deleted the generated xml file, did a find . -name "*.py" -exec dos2unix {} \; That seemed to fix it. --Chancey 17:14, 10 August 2009 (CDT)

I had a problem /w Jaunty.The this advice worked for me: http://groups.google.com/group/python-ogre-developers/browse_thread/thread/5a740c6746d74ede I not real experienced but this seems really strange to me.
