Bug#367520: build vs. runtime requirements, library locations
Nonpareil only needs Python during compilation, not at runtime, and only
indirectly through the use of SCons.
The Nonpareil source tarball comes with the "local" version of SCons in a
subdirectory, so you don't need to have SCons "installed" in order to
build
Nonpareil (but you do need to have Python). The following commands will
build Nonpareil:
cd scons-local
tar -xzf scons-local-0.96.90.tar.gz
cd ..
scons-local/scons.py
Nonpareil?s build process uses pkg-config, so it should find the GTK+ 2.x
headers and libraries if they are installed correctly.
I just built and ran Nonpareil 0.77 on Ubuntu (Dapper) without any
trouble. I haven't yet learned how to build Debian packages, though.
