There's actually a reason to compile from source.. It's called development.
Doubt op is actually developing on these programs tho
Mason Price
>the software won't build when missing dependencies
Well no fucking shit. Install the missing dependencies and build it.
Noah Morales
How do I know which dependency I miss?
Gavin Thompson
GNU/Linux/pacman/yaourt does not have this problem.
Kevin Rogers
It always works.
1. Install void
2. Download xbps-src
3. List all dependencies in the template
4. Compile
Owen Wood
Read the damned errors.
Not everything is available via package managers.
Austin Walker
Just install it from the repo despite it not being there, goy. Come on, it's easy. :^)
Jeremiah Gutierrez
You typically get something like "no such file" errors when building.
Usually, you can just search for the name and find it, but sometimes you need to use apt-file.
It is usually the -dev on Ubuntu.
Julian Perry
>not using ppa
Robert Green
you read the errors
if it says something like;
checking for libpng >=1.6.0 ... no
error: cannot find libpng headers
then you install libpng version 1.6.0 or higher

>Not everything is available via package managers.
it's pretty rare not to find something in the AUR
Cameron Wilson
In other words, not everything is available via package managers.
Elijah Watson
i can't remember the last time i didn't find something in the AUR, besides themes
Brayden Morgan
Nice irrelevant anecdotal evidence.
Adrian Thomas
what are you trying to compile?

Eh, I've already got pkgsrc and pkgin on OS X and pkg_add and ports on OpenBSD.

Owen Hughes
When is ./configure supposed to be used because I don't see it that often included with programs
Liam Gomez
and its always some obscure dependency only faggots use
Nolan Reyes
usually source checkouts don’t have a configure file, you can generate one withthe autoconf command (autoconf -fvi).
