Thanks for the feedback.

The intltoolize command is used by autogen.sh and provided by the inttool package. The need for intltool package is satisfied by apt build-dep sugar on Ubuntu 19.10, and this is mentioned by our Setup a development environment - Native Sugar, which relies on the Debian developers' idea of what we depend on.

We once did, but now we don't maintain a set of dependencies for Sugar. We could do so if there is an interest in maintaining the list. So far I've not seen interest. I'll change the title of this issue to look for that interest. For the list to be acceptable it must;

@quozl , thanks. I am new to build-dep, but the first README. md makes building from SOURCE simple. I suggest you to add, this line : "Refer Setup a development environment" thing. because at first I didn't want to develop, but only run it somehow. I will check the build-dep method

quozl commented 4 years ago

@srevinsaju, there's already a line that does that. If you only want to run Sugar, then installing Sugar is more easily done using apt install sucrose than building from source.

@quozl it is not working on Ubuntu 19.10 . what is a presumed solution?

Please don't post the same problem into multiple threads.

I guess keeping a list of dependencies and this thread is redundant, it was specific to a particular version. Now fixed. Closing :smile:
