In my search to find details about an Ubuntu install, I found there are a lot of scattered notes about what is required for Ubuntu installations in the forums, but the latest version officially talked about in the Linux BlitzMax Installation Guide is 5.10, and such important information needs to be updated and gathered to one spot in the forums.
Can someone from BRL post an updated version of an install how-to, including exactly what packages are required to get BlitzMax running properly on Ubuntu 8.10, including notes about gcc4.x fixes etc? I say exactly, because for example; looking in the Synaptic manager I saw different versions of gcc packages (gcc, gcc multilib etc) and I was wondering if any ambiguity can be avoided by listing the exact right package required.
After using Ubuntu I decided to focus more on Linux app development because, well... damn... it is just awesome, but I need to get it going first!
