Compiling on Kubuntu 12.04

OK.

I did a test with “jpeg”.
I used

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev

… It installed (once was not installed, of course).

Then tried “makepanda” again, and the line

is still appearing. That is because it looks for the thirdparty packages from the folder, instead of the ones installed in your system, I suppose.

Even in the “makepanda” readme file, it says you must have the thirdparty folder:

Make sure you have all three pieces. If you do, then your panda
directory will contain the following subdirectories:

direct	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
dmodels	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
doc         - piece 1, source code from sourceforge
dtool	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
Makefile	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
makepanda	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
models	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
panda	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
pandatool	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
ppremake	- piece 1, source code from sourceforge
contrib     - piece 1, source code from sourceforge
thirdparty  - piece 2, third party tools
samples	- piece 3, sample programs

If you have all of these, you’re ready to go. If not, then you
must have missed a piece.

If you download the source version 1.7.2, you will see the “Makefile” and the “thirdparty” are missing.

Well. I got them from the complete source v1.6.2 (the last which you find those missing ones).
I’ll test here and watch the results then give you a feedback.

Hope it works
