Compile Viewnoir on Linux Mint 17.1

Here are the steps that worked for me, in building Viewnior 1.5 from source.

For whatever reason, I couldn’t just follow the build instructions on the Viewnoir Download page; I kept getting "./configure.ac: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `261'". But a combination of those and these, and some other searching around, seemed to work.

  1. wget https://github.com/xsisqox/Viewnior/archive/viewnior-1.5.tar.gz

  2. tar xvfz viewnior-1.5.tar.gz

  3. cd Viewnior-viewnior-1.5

  4. sudo apt-get install build-essential intltool libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev gnome-common exiv2 libexiv2-dev libgexiv2-2 libgexiv2-dev (I know, probably overkill, but just in case…​)

  5. ./autogen.sh

  6. ./configure

  7. make

  8. sudo make install

Feel free to add a comment if I’ve forgotten something.

Good luck!
