The @b{GTK UI} introduces some significant extra build requirements. If you intend to disable building the GUI with @command{configure --disable-gtk} you will not need many of these packages installed:
Ubuntu 8.04 - 9.10 packages:
@itemize @bullet
@item subversion (cli/gui)
@item yasm (cli/gui)
@item build-essential (cli/gui)
@item autoconf (cli/gui)
@item libtool (cli/gui)
@item zlib1g-dev (cli/gui)
@item libbz2-dev (cli/gui)
@item intltool (gui)
@item libglib2.0-dev (gui)
@item libdbus-glib-1-dev (gui)
@item libgtk2.0-dev (gui)
@item libhal-dev (gui)
@item libhal-storage-dev (gui)
@item libwebkit-dev (gui)
@item libnotify-dev (gui)
@item libgstreamer0.10-dev (gui)
@item libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev (gui)
@end itemize
Ubuntu 8.04, substitute libwebkitgtk-dev for libwebkit-dev
To install these packages:
@example
sudo apt-get install subversion yasm build-essential \
autoconf libtool zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev intltool libglib2.0-dev \
libdbus-glib-1-dev libgtk2.0-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev \
libwebkit-dev libnotify-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev \
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
@end example
Fedora 9 - 12 package groups:
@itemize @bullet
@item Development Tools
@item Development Libraries
@item X Software Development (gui)
@item GNOME Software Development (gui)
@end itemize
To install these package groups:
@example
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries" \
"X Software Development" "GNOME Software Development"
@end example
Additional Fedora packages:
@itemize @bullet
@item yasm (cli/gui)
@item zlib-devel (cli/gui)
@item bzip2-devel (cli/gui)
@item dbus-glib-devel (gui)
@item hal-devel (gui)
@item webkitgtk-devel (gui)
@item libnotify-devel (gui)
@item gstreamer-devel (gui)
@item gstreamer-plugins-base-devel (gui)
@end itemize
Fedora 9 & 10, substitute WebKit-gtk-devel for webkitgtk-devel
To install these packages:
@example
sudo yum install yasm zlib-devel bzip2-devel \
dbus-glib-devel hal-devel webkitgtk-devel libnotify-devel\
gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel
@end example
