Development Docs?

[sdonham]

I've been searching the wiki and forums for some development docs, or at least something to append to some existing wiki development docs, and I haven't found anything...

In short, I've got a bunch of notes on what packages are required to compile the Jive platform on Fedora core 5 and 6. Although most of the requirements listed in README.linux come pre-installed on Fedora, there were a few that did not. Thought these might be helpful as it took me some time to find the exact package names (specifically, which package contained the glu.h header).

Should I post this somewhere that might helpful to others?

What about http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?Jive ? There's already an
additional section for VC++ on Windows. Feel free to add another section
concerning Fedora.

In README.fedora (or README.linux.fedora), it might keep things more centralized and aligned (we have README.osx) ?

My 2 cents

That's a great idea. I'll write up what packages I had to install and there
was a small change I had to make to the "Makefile.linux" :
I had to add the following:
INCLUDE_X11=--x-includes=/usr/include/X11 --x-libraries=/usr/lib
--x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11
then include this on all lines that built the SDL.
The problem was that building the SDL could not find the X11 libs. I tried
this on Fedora 5 & 6 and simply specifying where to find X11 files fixed it
on both systems.
