Disappointing results with building on linux from source
I tried for a couple of hours to install sigil 0.9.0 on a laptop with Debian jessie 8.2 following the instructions in BuildingOnLinux.md. Installing Qt5.5.0 in /opt/ didn't present any problems and all the other listed dependencies downloaded and seemed to install ok.
The first failure was on the "sudo pip3 install lxml" where the pip.log states :
"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'i586-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1"
As I didn't really understand that error message nor what I could do to fix it, I suppose the rest, albeit apparently well detailed, was bound to fail - which it did.
So, I was pleased to find this thread and in about ten minutes I had the 0.8.6 .deb package downloaded and installed. Sigil seems to run correctly and testing and familiarization will follow.
Thanks for a ready made deb package. Saves a lot of time.
