[Ardour-Users] Building Ardour 2.7, what to do with v. 2.5?

[Henry W. Peters]

Hi Kalumi,

Thanks much for help! I tried the below command & got something like 
"checkinstall command not found." I did a simple sudo scons install, & 
this worked fine.

Just wondering what it may mean when scons (?) couldn't find that 
command. Perhaps I would like to do a debian package some time 
(actually, want to learn).

Regards,
Henry
