Apps :: Dependency Issues with apt-get



I just tested the extension I sent you and it works with gtk2, m4 -1.4.4 and the libtool extension (and gcc1-with-libs to be precise)  installed. Did you test it?

I found my notes and actually I was using it with woody's perl, but it seems perl-5.8.7 from gtk2 works.  I just used it to build a configure and makefile for faac.

You may be right to use vintage autoconf_automake for old sources.  New versions always want the "latest" autoconf and automake however.

In any case: do us a favor and post your perl-5.8.0 as an extension, that way we'll get the core modules for that version.  Maybe Robert can be coaxed into squeezing them into the base so we don't have a seriously challenged perl .... :=)  

I'll post the newer autoconf etc including m4.

Can anyone tell me if libtool is usually required?  I think only sometimes ....?

EDIT: Actually it would probably be better if dsl simply used a full version of woody's perl sans docs.  There's not a whole lot of difference for most users, and where there is a difference it is clearly documented in perldocs.  Having perl-5.8.0 instead breaks almost anything from woody that uses perl.  The only way around this I've found is to force install woody perl over 5.8.0 with --ignore-deps

Taken from a 5.8.x perl package, you'll need
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/Basename.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/stat.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/Compare.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/Copy.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/Class/Struct.pm
(from my other thread in http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=16260 )

These modules seemed sufficient enough for my compiling needs, and I think I still have the rather small extension created for that purpose - if someone wants them.  I don't think all of the modules will be placed in the default DSL image due to their size.

For libtool, I think there is some version available (forgot which mydsl package) but it's one of those things listed as 'recommended'.
That's interesting - perhaps John and Robert might look at augmenting the modules by at least those (if they're reading this).

An extension containing all of the 5.8.0  core modules would still be nice.
That would be John's call, he is the Perl guy.

Yes, but:

[mydsl-load gtk2-0705.dsl, gcc1-with-libs.dsl, autoconf2-6.0_automake-1.10.dsl - couldn't find libtool extension, gnu-utils.dsl and alsa.dsl loaded on boot]

Compiling alsa-driver-0.9.6

# aclocal

Strangely enough (I added m4 to gnu-utils a while ago):

# m4 --version
GNU m4 1.4

I'm pretty sure that your autoconf2-6.0_automake-1.10.dsl extension would work for me with a later version of m4, thanks.
