@JJK96 AFAICT those are ubuntu/debian specific dependencies, aren't they?

[JJK96]

Yes, but I think people who are smart enough to compile packages are smart enough to find the corresponding package for their system.

[davidgfnet]

Ok, then we could just say "Depends on FreeImage", right?

[JJK96]

i guess we could, but it also depends on the -dev (development) version of
freeimage and libc6

No it doesn't depend on the "development versions". It depends on freeimage and libc6.
If your distro decides to package the headers/libs necessary to develop applications seperately (to use those libraries) that's a whole different story.

One dependency is for building, the other one is for running.

I believe we should list those necessary for running. Having necessary dev-packages for building should be common sense for users (packagers and coders) using such distros.

Thank you for your clarification, I'm okay with that.

Thanks for the clarification Jay. I think that's way more reasonable, since every distro is different and this is Linux (or *unix) specific.

[JayFoxRox]

Should be something like: "Development headers and libraries for glibc and Freeimage. You'll also need a C/C++ compiler and linker such as GCC".
Possibly add a debian example: "Example (debian): sudo apt-get install build-essential libfreeimage-dev" [untested, not a debian user myself but I do realize that especially debain users need help with this..]

[davidgfnet]

Hahahaha do they? Are Debian users retarded? :P Yeah lots of Ubuntu folks, but come on, they do have a launchpad repo... Let them suffer a bit

[JJK96]

A lot of linux users start with an ubuntu based distro, so as a result,
most "beginners" use ubuntu/debian. I think we should start getting a
little more beginner friendly if we want linux to be more popular, and not
ridicule them.
