How to install dev dependencies from source? #192

Open evandrocoan opened 3 years ago

evandrocoan commented 3 years ago

I use ubuntu 20.04 with XFCE 4.14, and I am trying to build nemo from source because the current version is leaking too much memory, then, I hope the master version has a better behavior.

But meno requires cinnamon-desktop as a dependency. Then, I installed it, but nemo is requiring version 4.8 while my package manager only version 4.4.

How can I generated a -dev package from the source files on this repository and install it?

Or is there a .deb package for version 4.8 somewhere I use to install these files?

Cinnamon would have to be backported, which I honestly need to get working on for Ubuntu releases by PPA. For now download debs at packages.linuxmint.com.
