Salasaga frustration

Filed under: code — jmarca @ 4:17 pm

Super frustrating day trying to build Salasaga, with the kicker coming at about 3:30 when ./configure finally complained that it needs libgnome.  I don’t run gnome.  Most of the time that isn’t a problem.  How annoying that they don’t list Gnome as one of their project prerequisites.  I guess that is one of the evils of having Ubuntu become so popular—perhaps developers don’t even realize that running Linux on a desktop doesn’t “require” a gnome environment.

I think I’ll wait for the ebuild to come out.
