LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] compilation xscreensaver

- - compilation xscreensaver (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/compilation-xscreensaver-4175723361/)

compilation xscreensaver

why at debian xscreensaver needed much more dependincies than at arch?
debian apt say that cant find needed list of dependincies
but i can find this dependincies one by one at debian package site
why debian cand find all of them via apt if it present at site?

i need compilation with specific options

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-elogind --with-pam --with-gl --with-glx --with-pixbuf --with-xft

from xscreensaver readme install

Code:

root@home:/etc/apt# apt install perl pkg-config gettext intltool libx11 libxext libxi libxt libxft libxinerama libxrandr libxxf86vm libgl libglu libgle libgtk2 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0 libxml2 libpam dbus libsystemd elogind

On my Debian, xscreensaver is in the repos. I have it working quite nicely on my system.

Just out of curiosity, may I ask why you have decided to compile it from sources?

I thought MY eyes or MIND was/is playing tricky tricky on me, is this you with the same thing ?

https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=154335

Because those packages have different names: actually it is libxt6 and libxft2 (and so on). But if you want to compile probably you need the dev version: like libxft-dev ...

ok, but why most thouse of all is present in arch but not at debian?

they exist, just the name of the packages are different

but why at arch most of them already preinstalled, why at debian i need resolve manually so many dependincies its very difficult?

is there way automate resolving so many dependincies?

how resolve this dephell?
