[WIKI] compilation requirements

[leadman]

During compilation of mc, as I was asked in ticket #2635, I found that one of build dependencies is missing the list. As I am not able to edit this wiki page, and can't add this dependency, I have created a ticket.
Please add "autopoint" program/package as dependency on wiki page:
​https://www.midnight-commander.org/wiki/doc/buildAndInstall/req

[leadman]

Also please add libssh2-1-dev package as a dependency (at least on Ubuntu 12.04)

Please add "autopoint" program/package as dependency on wiki page:

is autopoint stand-alone application? I mean, is autopoint have own package? In my case autopoint included into gettext-devel RPM-package.

Also please add libssh2-1-dev package as a dependency (at least on Ubuntu 12.04)

We already have the 'libssh2-dev' dependency on req page. What mean '1' in your 'libssh2-1-dev' package name? Is this number static or may be changed in future? Can be 'libssh2-1-dev' package same as 'libssh2-dev'?

Yes, it is a package:

root@esp-patben-lin:/# apt-cache policy autopoint
autopoint:

  Kandydująca:   0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3

I have no clue what does '1' mean. My OS is Debian based (Ubuntu 12.04) and it seems to me that 'libssh2-1-dev' and 'libssh2-dev' packages are not the same. Moreover, I do not have 'libssh2-dev' package at all:

root@esp-patben-lin:/# apt-cache policy "^libssh2.*"

Maybe it would be enough to add some comment, that for Ubuntu, one should install 'libssh2-1-dev' and 'autopoint' packages?

Hi andrew_b,
why did you closed this, while it is still not fixed? The wiki still shows old requirements.

[andrew_b]

Please quote here from wiki page what is still wrong.

I don't know how to quote missing text. And as I wrote initially, the wiki lacks of "autopoint" and "libssh2-1-dev" package as dependencies here:
​https://www.midnight-commander.org/wiki/doc/buildAndInstall/req

[andrew_b]

Just try find 'autopoint' and 'libssh2-1-dev' words in that page.

I am sorry, I promptly looked at the 'Name" column and haven't noticed. Mea Culpa.
