Compile on Ubuntu #20

I don't manage to find the proper apt repos dependency to build this. Can we have some guidance about it please?

This should get you going:

sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool valac libgirepository1.0-dev libjson-glib-dev libgee-0.8-dev libssl-dev libnotify-dev libgtk-3-dev
git clone https://github.com/bboozzoo/mconnect.git
cd mconnect
autoreconf -if
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

Then you can run mconnect:

./mconnect -d

Or install as a package:

sudo apt-get install checkinstall
sudo checkinstall --type debian

And follow the prompts to change any package details you'd like. Fair warning this will take a little over 200MB of space. Let me know if I missed anything, ./configure should catch it if I did.

Thanks heaps!

Actually it makes sense to provide example instructions somewhere. I'll add ubuntu builds to travis setup so that people can use it as reference.

Cool. It should always work, but it's worth mentioning the list I posted relies on dependency "recommends" chaining. I also added a markdown table based on your travis.build to my Wiki here you could copy to your readme if you wanted.
