Because I have tried to compile every dependency from scratch and got
not that far. I think it would be much easier if all dependencies would
be in the svn repository, because an serious software development has to
do it that way. Either it is to have the correct version of the
dependencies so no new errors can occur if you build it ( if you have to
hunt all dependencies on the internet, you never will be sure if you got
the right version). Or to be able to rebuild old versions (its more
unlikely, but you never know).
I really don't think I could agree with this more.
If the "blessed" sources to the dependencies (i.e. the dependency
version built against to make binary releases) was checked into
pygame svn such that you could get pygame svn version and the build
it, I think you would have a whole lot more people building and
testing, fixing and developing. The fact that I have to search for
dependencies that may not work is the single thing stopping me from
compiling from source.
So could we get one of the people who builds for binary releases to
add their dependency sources to pygame svn?
