我想在 Linux Mint 下开始开发 Pidgin 插件13.

我读过 the official tutorial一开始说我应该使用以下命令安装 pidgin 的开发依赖项:apt-get build-dep pidgin

但最终会出现以下错误消息:

E: Unable to find a source package for pidgin

我必须添加一个特殊的存储库吗？或者我怎样才能让 Linux Mint 找到这个包？

这是 sources.list 的转储:

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise partner 
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free 
 
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb apps 
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb games 

请您参考如下方法:

编辑/etc/apt/sources.list，添加deb-src:

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import 
deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import 
 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse 
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse 
 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse 
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse 
 
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse 
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse 
 
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise partner 
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free 

然后尝试:

apt-get update 
apt-get build-dep pidgin
