Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have (with help from Barry) found that 3.5 also have .deb packages
available.<br>
<br>
Well, I delved in, and tried installing them on my laptop, to see if
it would compile.<br>
<br>
3 things come from my experience so far<br>
<br>
1. The compilation detects my machine as debian, in-fact it is
Ubuntu, so the testing in the configure needs to change such that it
checks for lsb-release before the debian_version in /etc. But in the
meantime "make LINUX_DISTRIBUTION=UBUNTU_LINUX Autoconfig" does the
job, i.e after copying config/env.mcr.sample to config/env.mcr<br>
<br>
2. At the moment with 3.5.0-1, the compilation does not succeed on
11.10. Is there any documentation out there that shows which
flavours of Ubuntu/Debian are in-fact supported. I will try it on an
older karmic test machine that I have already, and see how far I
get.<br>
<br>
3. The documentations on

don't give any indication of Ubuntu/Debian support<br>
<br>
any pointers from anyone would be great<br>
<br>
