Compiling on Kubuntu 12.04

Sincerely, I DESIST from “makepanda”!

Really, you must get manually EACH thirdparty package for it!

Just to get jpeg lib, I had to find its website, find the source, download, extract, compile and FINALLY install it. Because using my built-in package manager doesn’t solve it (not even through bash).

Sorry to say, but I’m very said about it. Not because I’m newbie to the Panda3D… But because it doesn’t provide a complete installer since it asks you for those “missing” libraries just to fully work.

If I’m wrong (what I actually really wish) tell me, please, and explain me why I cannot simply build and install it.

Please, I need to get it running so I can learn it, for a commercial project.

I would be really thank!
And soon, I’ll make sure I’m going to deploy a true automated builder|installer.

Thanks.
