[Fluxus] Building Fluxus on Debian squeeze

[Marco Bertocco]

Hi to all,

after a while, I got Fluxus running on debian squeeze (both 32 and 64 bits).

I had to dig some search engines and to deal with some shell errors, so I
wrote down a little bash script to manage Fluxus installations on clean
Debian (It should work under ubuntu too)

Hope this script may be useful to someone, at least as step-by-step
instructions for Debian 6.

*Please note: I'm a web designer, not a programmer, so before running this
script anyone should look at the code very well cause [I think] it's very
rough shellcode*

# Remove previous sources of fluxus
rm -r fluxus

this line:"

---------- END OF SCRIPT


Maybe I forgot to apt-get install some development package (I have most of
X11, mesa and openGL development packages already installed due to graphics
cards proprietary drivers previous installations), if you notice please let
me know.

finally, I would like to say that I have no words to express my
appreciation for this project and the author's choice to put it under our
beloved GPL licence.

I knew of fluxus a couple of days ago and I'm just... totally addicted.

Thank you!
