我想开始在Linux Mint 13下开发Pidgin插件。
我已阅读the official tutorial，并且在开头有人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：找不到pidgin的源包
我是否必须添加特殊存储库？或者我如何让Linux Mint找到这个包呢？
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

修改/etc/apt/sources.list，然后添加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
尝试：
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep pidgin

http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php的快速搜索显示，felicia和helena都存在Pidgin存储库，这是Linux Mint 6＆amp; 8特别是。 Mint默认安装的存储库可能不包含指向这些特定存储库的链接。
如果您对Pidgin的开发感兴趣，我建议您直接下载文件from here。这可以帮助您理解开发过程，而不是从Mint的角度，而是从分布独立性的角度来理解。
