Debian [potato/slink] equivalent of RH packages for building Mozilla
I was poking around the Mozilla site when I came across
http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html which are the instructions for
building Mozilla. The gtk+ packages listed there are all in rpm
format. I did a bit of research and came up with the following list of
equivalent Debian packages. Could some knowledgable soul tell me if
this list is correct?
RH Debian
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
glib-devel libgtk-dev
glib libglib
gtk+ libgtk
gtk+-devel libgtk-dev
1. If glib.rpm = libglib.deb, shouldn't glib-devel.rpm be = to
glib-dev.deb ?
2. What is the difference between gtk+ and glib? Why does RH provide
seperate -devel.rpm for both while Debian seems to have one -dev.deb
which seems to provide both?
3. The build instructions page says that version 1.1.5 or higher of gtk+
and glib is required. Would the Debian equivalent be in potato?
