Reason for the backports: - libfreetype6: crash with FreeType 2.2.1 -> lenny backport - libsdl-tty2.0-0: problem with rendering fonts with bold style -> lenny backport - libzip: I used to build with zziplib, but distros ship either 0.12 or 0.13 and I don't want to double-compile. So I switched to libzip -> lenny backport - libffi: Debian Etch has libffi4, which works, but is in a different package than in Lenny, where it's libffi5. This make it necessary to double-compile the package. Instead I quickly backported libffi5. For minimal systems that don't have the packages (e.g. eee-pc/xandros): - wxwidgets: downloaded from the Debian Etch archive: dget http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wxwidgets2.6/wxwidgets2.6_2.6.3.2.1.5.dsc for i in libwxbase2.6-0_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb libwxbase2.6-dbg_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb libwxbase2.6-dev_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb libwxgtk2.6-0_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb libwxgtk2.6-dbg_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb libwxgtk2.6-dev_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb python-wxgtk2.6_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb wx-common_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb wx2.6-headers_2.6.3.2.1.5_i386.deb ; do wget http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wxwidgets2.6/$i; done Build dependencies (not needed to use the program, only to build the .deb package): - intltool: new version has a different and backward-incompatible build system -> lenny backport
