Add help compilation to Ubuntu's users #46

Closed tamplan closed 4 years ago

tamplan commented 5 years ago

On Ubuntu 19.04, without this PR, i have got this message:

Either Ayatana Indicators or Ubuntu Indicators are required to build mate-indicator-applet.

with no more help (including README file).

Regards

Ok, to be clear, launching just the ./autogen.sh script, i have got the message yet mentioned but informations to compile correctly are given using the command ./configure -h.

Perhaps, and you are right, a better test chain should be studied here to not block the user to compile.

Thanks for your help!
