Re: How to get libgnome 1.2.x for development?

[Gabor Zoltan Csejtey <Gabor.Csejtey@idi.ntnu.no>]

HI,

When you download a debian source package after extracting it you can
find the dependencies in the package-version/debian/control file.

There can be more packages to install or compile again.

e.g I have the following src URI-s in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
#Sources stable
deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian stable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US stable/non-US main non-free contrib
#Sources testing
deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian testing main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US testing/non-US main non-free contrib
#Sources unstable
deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main non-free contrib

You may need:
dpkg-dev - Package building tools for Debian

	Hi,

	I'm on stable and trying to compile a program that requires the
	following:
	libgnome 1.2.x, gtk+ 1.2.7 and libxml 1.8.x and gnome-print 0.25.

	I installed the libgnome-dev (which installs libgtk1.2-dev) and
	libxml-dev which gives me the following:
	libgnome 1.0.56, gtk+ 1.2.7 and libxml 1.8.x and gnome-print 0.10.

	I think the gnome-print comes with libgnome. Anyway, I was wondering how
	I can get the 1.2 libgnome. It looks like it is libgnome32 in testing
	but I couldn't find any installable packages.

	Could I put a deb src for testing and then get the source to compile and
	then install?

	What package?

	Will installing the new libs conflict or mess up the current libs? 

	I really don't want to mess up a perfectly good system because I don't
	know what I am doing.

	Any help would be appreciated.

	Eric
