vdr-plugin-burn package

Package not installable

Asked by ronzo

I cannot install the package vdr-plugin-burn presumably due to unmet dependencies.

Following packages are missing:
mkisofs (>= 2.0+a19-2)
vdr-genindex (>= 0.1.3)
vdrsync (>= 0.1.2.2dev2+050322)
projectx

(See packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/vdr-plugin-burn )

yep tried that... there are two things to do in this case:
1) report it as a bug! when a package is offered, its dependencies need to be met!
2) if you like, you can compile it from source ... if you need instructions don't hesitate to ask :-)

A brief description on how to compile it from source would be nice!

If i compile from source, the software installed is not updated automatically anymore by a package manager, right?

usually after downloading the source you do
./configure
make
make install

:-)

packages you compile yourself are not updated automatically though, as you mentioned. as soon as the respective packages show up in the repository you can of course replace your compiled version with the official one, which offers the advantage of automatic updates :-)

feel free to ask again should you have any other questions or run into a problem!
