Because of the variety of Linux distros we need volunteer support to maintain good "packages" for each one. That's the best route... then no documentation is needed for install. Short of that, Linux users simply have to build VirtualT themselves. Of course the benefit of building it yourself is that you always have the latest and greatest features (and bugs... but that's what makes life so exciting, right?).
Open a command prompt and type:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@virtualt.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/virtualt co -P VirtualT
Download, Build FLTK dependency
VirtualT depends on the FLTK library. FLTK is hosted at http://www.fltk.org/software.php . Download a version of fltk. These instructions were developed with fltk-1.1.7 . Decompress the package.
Change directory into fltk-x.y.z
Configure and make fltk:
./configure --enable-localjpeg --enable-localzlib --enable-localpng
make
Building VirtualT
cd into VirtualT,
export FLTKDIR=/where/is/fltk-x.y.z
make
then make should work.
