Open2x And Ubuntu 6.10

[Megatog615]

Apparently Open2x requires automake 1.7, however the latest Ubuntu has is 1.4. There seem to be some dependency problems with Ubuntu and Open2x. Is there a repository somewhere that contains updated development packages that can be used to successfully compile Open2x on Ubuntu? I'd like to get started developing for my new GP2X.

hi,
it should have 1.4, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 available, but you might have to enable universe first.
what does
apt-cache search automake
show?

I also had a couple problems with autoconf, and I discovered I had autoconf1.23(the obsolete version) installed. I removed that and it seems to be getting further now.


Also, for the libs, it complains about not being able to find libxml2, even though it is installed. Oops, forgot to comment out the svg target.

sudo apt-get install automake1.7
should work fine then.

Alright, works great. Got the libs to compile too! Thanks for the help.
