FAQ
Q
What does the build process depend on?
A
Unless otherwise stated, these dependencies are all currently mandatory. It may be possible to build with earlier versions by relaxing the version number checks in the configure.ac script. The current versions were picked conservatively based on what’s been tested to work.
Q
How do I build libgphoto2 and entangle from scratch?
