Yes, I understand that. But it's useful to me because in our shop I have three linux boxes, all Kubuntu Trusty, on which I want to deploy Sigil. Packaging it up --even a quick and dirty package via checkinstall-- would mean I don't have to maintain the build environment on each of the three machines.

From DiapDealer's post, it looks like I don't have some of the dependencies I'd need anyway, so for now I will just do the separate builds.

Thanks for the information!
