[tmpdir]

Recently I compiled xbmc on ubuntu 8.04, which almost work by the manual. Some virtual dependency servers where down... off course :S.

Now i'm trying to compile XBMC on my 8.10 box, but the necessary dependencies described in linux.readme are not working for me.

Following the linux.readme, I should do:
% apt-get install subversion make g++ gcc gawk pmount libtool nasm automake cmake gperf unzip bison libsdl-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-stretch-dev libfribidi-dev liblzo-dev libfreetype6-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libasound-dev python-sqlite libglew-dev libcurl4-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev libxinerama-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libmad0-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpcre3-dev libdbus-1-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev libjasper-dev libfontconfig-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libfaac-dev libenca-dev libxt-dev libxmu-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libpulse-dev mesa-utils libcdio-dev


some libs give me "E: Couldn't find package XXXX". I asume the given dependencies are not for 8.10 but for 8.04 or before that. How can I find out the current ones? I want to compile from source so I can work on the code.

A few of the troublesome dependencies:

libcurl4-dev
libxrandr-dev
libmad0-dev
libmysqlclient-dev

The dependencies in the linux.readme are indeed for older distributions. For future reference an up-to-date dependency list is on the following wiki page:
