[SOLVED] Install POEdit from source

Hi all, I'm having a hard time trying to install POEdit 1.8.x. While version 1.6.x is available on Debian Jessie's repos, I really need some of the newest features. I've solved the dependencies allright, and when I attempt to do "make install".

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/martin/poedit-1.8.6/src'
  CXXLD  poedit
/usr/bin/ld: no se puede encontrar -lboost_regex
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:512: recipe for target 'poedit' failed
make[1]: *** [poedit] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/martin/poedit-1.8.6/src'
Makefile:351: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Here is the complete output.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

I got the .tar.gz file from http://poedit.net/

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] Install POEdit from source

Do you have the "libboost-regex-dev" package installed?

You coud also backport the testing or sid poedit package. https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=58

I was trying to apt-get lboost_regex instead. Now it worked! Many many thanks.

PS: Noobs like me should check for packages names and descriptions in Synaptic systematically. And STFW, of course.

That's great! Would you be kind enough to mark Solved on the OP so that it might help others who experience the same problem?

Re: [SOLVED] Install POEdit from source

"apt-file search <library>" and "apt-get build-dep <package>" are also handy things to know when you are trying to build from source.
