Can Debian satisfy all dependencies?

Post by Mistrel »

I tried Debian 10.x and the IDE will load but there are missing packages such as libgnome2-dev and libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev. If I try 9.x then I can get all of the packages but the IDE won't load because zlib is out of date:

Code: Select all

./compilers/purebasic: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by ./compilers/purebasic)
Is there a workaround for this?

Try installing the missing libraries, like so:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install libgnome2-dev libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev ...
Alternatively, try installing all the required packages; the ones already installed will either be updated or skipped.

Those packages are not available on Debian 10.x:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install libgnome2-dev libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev

Those packages are not available in the latest Debian repositories. But they can still be downloaded and installed from earlier repos.

For example, libgnome2-dev and libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev can be found here:

Code: Select all

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libgnome2-dev
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
To use the package tool for this, its repository list needs to be updated. This is usually stored in /etc/apt/sources.list, and here is a wiki for that:
