Tips for packages mainteners

Dependencies to build:

  • Perl 5.8.1+
    • XML::Parser
  • Python 2.4+
    • Python vte
  • intltool
  • gettext
  • gconf2

Notes for non GNU environment:

  • Guake requires GNU make to compile.
  • The Makefile is generated by standard GNU autoconf tools
  • The guake binary is a bash script calling guake.py with correct PYTHONPATH variable. A sh wrapper would be nice.
