Compiling newlisp on ubuntu

[Tim Johnson]

Just a quick tip - to compile newlisp on ubuntu the
libc6-dev package is needed for the header files at
/usr/include. If libc6-dev is missing you will see references
to files such like stdlib.h, stdio.h, as missing.

apt-get install libc6-dev will do it.
Or get it via adept manager.

If newlisp were included in the ubuntu repositories,
that might contribute to more exposure, and provide
for automatic updating. I'm happy to compile, but
others might like that....

Hi, Tim!
Look at http://en.feautec.pp.ru/SiteNews/NewLispDebian/
There is an Ubuntu version and source package which compiles both on Ubuntu and Debian.
I maintaining this stuff.
The debian version is at mentors.debian.net too. But, in fact, I haven't sufficient time at now for pushing it finally into debian unstable :-\

Yes. I saw that after posting this. Great! I do prefer to compile, but
maybe your resources should be in the docs or as a sticky.

You can still compile this doing

Code: Select all

apt-get source newlisp
cd newlisp-***
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

This will make your own deb

Cool! Will this provide that I be notified of updates/new versions
automatically?

Subsequental "apt-get update; apt-get source newlisp" in the same directory will update your sources when the new versio/|patch will appear on the server.

I don't know if there's a separate mechanism in debian to check sources for updates.
