Hi John,
thank you!
I'm a relative beginner on Linux but have read some about Arch and this is the reason I decided to try it. I plan to move from ubuntu Lucid to Arch as main system and after I failed to install Audacity (see
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post4109505 ) which I don't really need for now, I wanted to build a non-trivial claimed-to-be source code portable app, which I need. (I used the prebuild app under Win but for Linux there's only source. I wanted to hack the sources of this abandonned app to fix the '
very few' remaining errors, but I don't have the MSVC compiler under Win. some come to Linux for stranger reasons
)
ok, under Arch dev/devel is default for all packages.
> what dose pacman show ??
for libssl see (repeat from above)
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37007
package is reported out-of-date. my question was: does it make sense to continue?
> I would NOT use Ubuntu .deb's on Arch !
I did not. I found and installed all prerequisites on my other PC under ubuntu but then the es40.org package ./configure script fails - on ubuntu.
Code:
$ sudo ./configure
This is the debug-options configuration script for the ES40 emulator
