2.2.5 source code released - which are the dependencies?

[Per Abrahamsson]

Hello!
I have just read in the mailing lists that the source of Bluefish 2.2.5
is released. Some months age, I tried to compile the beta of BF2.2.5.
The compilation failed. From what I could read in the compilation log,
it seemed to lack "gtk3". I assume that means that the development
package(s) of gtk-3 must be present. Correct?

On my present Linux machine, I have gtk2.20. Does that mean, I have to
stay at BF2.2.4 (which, by the way, works without problems) until I have
upgraded my Linux machine? At the moment I have Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I'm
planning to change to 14.04 in April.

Current Bluefish SVN and the 2.2.5 release will compile with with either
Gtk 2 (2.20 or newer) or 3 (3.2.2) or newer.

When you run configure Bluefish should automatically detect what version
of GTK you have. If GTK 3 is present, it will be used. If GTK 3 is not
found it should search for GTK 2. You can force Bluefish to use GTK 2
even if you have GTK 3 installed with ./configure --with-gtk2

To find out what GTK development versions are installed on your system
you can use the following.

For GTK 2...
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

For GTK 3...
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0

Example output...
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.24.22
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0
3.10.6

probably you are just missing the development packages, such as
libgtk2.0-dev

http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Compiling_Bluefish_from_source#Debian_and_Ubuntu_packages_required_to_build_from_subversion
has the required packages.
