Finding Ubuntu Libraries that are available can be difficult until you know the commands.
Sometimes the exact library name is unknown.
Use these example commands to find out what is available via your enabled repositories, or software sources:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
    sudo apt-cache search libcurl
    sudo apt-cache search libSDL
    sudo apt-cache search libarchive


then

Note: Installing the *-dev patterns install the other dependencies.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
    sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev
    sudo apt-get install libarchive-dev
    sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
    sudo apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
    sudo apt-get install libsdl-gfx1.2-dev
    sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
    sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev
    ~/Downloads/meandmyshadow-0.3$ sudo cmake .
    ~/Downloads/meandmyshadow-0.3$ sudo make
    ~/Downloads/meandmyshadow-0.3$ ./meandmyshadow

Hello,

Thanks deinerson1 for your guide. Hopefully it will help someone in the future! :cool:

About my PPA: it seems to be broken for 12.04 Precise Pangolin. :( Tested on fresh install and there is some depency problem libarchive. I'll try to fix it soon.

Hey everyone!

Just telling that my PPA should work now just fine under 12.04 LST. :) I'm not very good at packaging... :(

On Ubuntu execute the following:
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:odamite/meandmyshadow-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install meandmyshadow
