[PD-dev] building fluid~ on Linux (was: [PD] fluid~ for Pd-Vanilla - test version)

[Roman Haefeli]

So, I created a script that tracks all dependencies of
fluidsynth~.pd_linux and copies them to the local folder.

This is the approach I used. I checked all libraries from ldd output
which package they belong to with 

 `apt-file search`

and checked what happens when I emulate to uninstall that package with 

  `apt-get remove --dry-run <packagename>`

If the system would get horribly broken, I assumed the package is
essential to the system and thus it is likely to be installed on any
system. I made a hard-coded list of regex patterns matching those
library names. Libraries matching any patterns of the list are not
included in the final package.

Does that approach make sense?
