How to ./configure a project easily
I'm trying to compile the latest version of Anjuta on Kubuntu 8.04.1. I run ./configure, and it tells me it needs some package of version >= blah blah. I install that package. I run ./configure again. There's another package I need to install. I've been doing this for nearly an hour, it's ridiculous.
Is there some way I can automate this, or at least get a listing of ALL the things I need to install, so I can do it all at once?

You should be able to query the package to determine what packages it depends on.
apt-cache
dpkg

It's not a package, it's the source directly from the developer's site. Can I still use apt-cache and dpkg in that case?
