Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks Dave,

I forgot about the README.dependencies file. I’ll take a look.

I knew I was going to get some useful feedback from gcc and ./configure, I just didn’t know how messy it was going to be.

I appreciate the tips on prefix and paths. That explains why I had trouble with a recent build of 2.7 turning into a mess with an older 2.6 from the official repo still installed. Sometimes you find instructions that assume you know all the implications of a choice, I guess I didn’t.

Glad to know you successfully built 2.6.19 on 4.13.0-36 as that’s the same one I’m working with.

I’ll give it a go this afternoon.

Regards,
Adrien
