Installation instructions for Debian 12 (bookworm)

まず README と configure.ac の依存関係チェックを確認し、issue に記載された Debian 12 のパッケージ一覧と比較します。master と v2.4-stable における現在の ICU 設定を確認します。README に必要な Debian パッケージと、関連するインストール上の違いが明確に記載されていれば完了です。

Hi all,

I didn't find a more appropriate issue type for this, sorry if it's wrong. I tried to install LTFS on a Debian 12 (bookworm) machine, but had a hard time figuring out the required dependencies. Here's what I've found with some trial and error:

build-essential automake autoconf libtool fuse libfuse-dev uuid uuid-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev pkg-config icu-devtools libicu-dev libsnmp-dev

Maybe I overdid and something is not really required, but at least this allowed me to compile and install LTFS.

But: With the stable branch v2.4-stable, I needed some time to figure out a required change in configure.ac due to icu-config being deprecated and not available anymore:

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index f28d2b2..9453572 100644
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
@@ -341,7 +341,7 @@ ICU_MODULE_CFLAGS="`icu-config --cppflags 2> /dev/null`";
 ICU_MODULE_LIBS="`icu-config --ldflags 2> /dev/null`";
 if test -z "$ICU_MODULE_LIBS"
 then
-    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ICU_MODULE], [icu >= 0.21])
+    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ICU_MODULE], [icu-i18n >= 0.21])
 fi
 
 AC_MSG_CHECKING([use latest ICU])

I see that this has already been integrated in master (with icu-uc instead of icu-i18n, but this probably doesn't matter), so it should not be required anymore.

Maybe it would help other people to provide at least the package list in the README. Of course, unless it is already there and I'm just not seeing it :S

Thanks!
