Re: "Inform manuals and compiler"
To install on Ubuntu, get the deb file and 'dpkg -i ...'. However, you will get an error that libgoocanvas-2.0-9 is missing.
You will then 'sudo apt install' it, but get another message:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: inform7-ide : Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) but it is not going to be installed libgoocanvas-2.0-9 : Depends: libgoocanvas-2.0-common (= 2.0.4-1build1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
OK, so fix-broken it is.
...
And then it installs.
This is kind of like a text adventure itself.
