These instructions are being updated, but in brief, the changes are:

  • You may now use versions of SCons later than 1.2.0, if you wish
  • You no longer require libnewt, snack, SLang or associated packages as the old newt based menu system has been removed
  • You now require ncurses and associated development libraries to build the new lxdialog based menu system

Please ensure that your build configuration is correct after updating your source code copy with the new menu system.

Update (17/08/2010): All instructions are now updated and correct.
