οντως το adept τουλαχιστο δεν το κάνει. ε καλά γλυτωνει και λιγο χορο αυτος που δεν τα χρειαζετε. παλι απλα και ωραια. Αν τα χρειαστεις θα ξερεις και που θα τα βρεις. θα ρωτήσω με τρόπο τότε.

gia ola uparxei tropos na rwthsei kapoios. pantws pisteua oti to adept epelege kai ta dev packages. Ap'oti fenete den uparxei kan logos afou ta paketa den ginontai compiled from source, ontws extra tha einai ta headers na kathontai sto susthma xwris logo.

 

An den peirazei to quote apo allo forum, auto lene:

 

The best way to understand something is by example.

So let's take an example:

 

I have XMMS installed on my system. I installed it via APT using this command:

apt-get install xmms

Now I want XMMS to play MIDI files, well there is a nice plugin called amidi-plug which enables the playback of MIDI files in XMMS through a backend (like timidity++ or fluidsynth). You can get the source tarball from here (amidi-plug isn't available as a Debian package):

http://www.develia.org/projects.php?l=2&f=1&p=amidiplug

To compile amidi-plug with XMMS support, I have to install XMMS' development packages; This is usually packagename-dev, so in this case it's xmms-dev. But we need libglib1.2-dev and libgtk1.2-dev aswell. So let's install them:

apt-get install xmms-dev libglib1.2-dev libgtk1.2-dev

Now I can compile amidi-plug:

./configure -with-player=xmms && make && make install

 

So as you see, the dev packages are needed only for programs that need to be compiled from source. Basically, the dev packages only allow the program in question to support the target program, for example, a program that may communicate with LAME (the mp3 encoder), the user would need liblame-dev if the program should be built from source.

Φυσικά και δεν πειράζει το quote από άλλο φόρουμ, αλλά αυτό το post από την 1η σελίδα του παρόντος θέματος δε θεωρείς ότι εξηγούσε το ίδιο πράγμα;
