Thats for the tip Martin, why do we need bot sentry when we can do the above?

./configure
and I have an error:

checking locale_CPPFLAGS… -DLOCALEDIR=\”$(prefix)/$(DATADIRNAME)/locale\”
checking for library containing g_get_current_time… no
configure: error: cannot link to glib-2.0

How I can fix it?

here is what I did:

uncompress the bot-sentry tar.bz2 file;
open configure in editor;
remove the intltool version checking code (the if – fi block);
configure && make && make install.

will see how this work out …

It seems one needs to make sure that one has at least intltool 0.40.0 installed.

@Gary: I tried your suggestion, but it did not work. Firstly, my configure does not work with only one dash, but a double dash is needed. Secondly, It still did not work until I copied the files as suggested here.

Thanks for the tip. For hardy/amd64/bot-sentry-1.2.1, I also needed to install intltool and hack configure to allow version 0.37.0 rather than 0.40.0. Also, doing:

./configure –prefix=/usr

gets rid of the cp requirement.
