I'm trying to compile oggvideotools 0.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 server (0.8 is in the ubuntu repos, but I want the current 0.9 trunk version)

svn co https://oggvideotools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/oggvideotools oggvideotools
cd oggvideotools/trunk
./autogen.sh

and here is what I get :

System has changed to run under cmake

It seems I've well installed all dependencies..but stil not compiling.

Do you have the same issues ?

Thank you.

I've maneged to build it, this is how I did it after the checkout.

sudo apt-get build-dep oggvideotools
./autogen.sh

I wish that I had learned the command build-dep earlier it would have saved me a lot of trouble compiling programs. It downloads all dependencies you need to build a package.

AWSOME ! Thank you a lot, I'm gonna love build-dep...that's something :) – Sulliwane Jan 16 at 13:32
@Sulliwane Yeah, this works for all Ubuntu packages. However, keep in mind that it will pull in build dependencies for the version of the package is provided for. If these have changed in the version you compile, you'll have to figure it out for yourself. Additionally, the package maintainers could have made build-time choices for you for the package, but you might want it to compile it differently (e.g. not OpenSSL, but GnuTLS - just a random example). – gertvdijk Jan 16 at 13:41
