Compiling on Debian 12

[hobscob]

I'm attempting to build Audacious in a fresh Debian 12 virtual machine.
After installing pkg-config and running ./configure --disable-qt it's giving an error about glib version.
It seems to want 2.32, but I believe 2.36 is installed, so I'm a bit puzzled.

Error pasted below:

I asked an AI for help and brute forced my way through it.
Will write up a summary of the commands used, tomorrow maybe.

Debian and its derivatives split packages into normal and -dev packages. To build packages from source you need to install these dev packages and of course a compiler and tools like pkg-config.

apt offers a nice command named build-dep which can be used to install all required dependencies to build a package.

Thanks for the tip Radioactiveman, that looks way easier than what I did.

Here are my notes on doing it the, uh ... noob way:
