Re: [gcmd-dev] THANK YOU STEPHAN !!!!! Gnome Commender compiles, installs and runs on Ubuntu Mate 20.04 |

If I may add... The process also works on Mint Mate 20. Just completed minutes
ago. All of the necessary building packages were available from the default
repos except libgnomevfs2-dev. I added the deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
bionic universe repo and that provided libgnomevfs2-dev. ./configure; make;
sudo make install worked just as expected.
For my next trick I will look through my notes and see if I can remember how to
build a .deb package. This would allow installation of Gnome Commander on other
machines without having the mixture of old and new repos and development tools
installed on "production" machines - just in case there are any bad after
effects.
