[squid-users] Building squid | Best Practices?

[Howard Waterfall]

Thanks Eliezer.

Looking at my notes, I'm pretty sure that:

*apt-get build-dep squid*

was a typo and I actually did

*apt-get build-dep squid3*

Is there something in the output I provided that confirms it's actually
squid and not squid3? It built OK...


I enabled deb-src because when I did:

*apt-get build-dep squid3*


I got:

*You must put some 'source' uris in your sources.list*


In the meantime, I'll purge and try again and follow your wiki a little
more closely.

Cheers,
Howard
