<br></span>
Just an update to my last message. I successfully installed Subsurface and can run it, and have also installed the dependencies required for smtk2ssrf (libglib2.0 and libmdb2).<br>
<br>
Now, following the directions in the Subsurface 4.6 User Manual, I'm attempting to move to the source tree directory for Subsurface to build smtk2ssrf. The only issue is that I'm not able to find that directory.<br>
<br>
Using find, the only directories named subsurface I locate are /usr/share/subsurface and /usr/share/doc/subsurface. I'm not finding anything related to Subsurface under /usr/src or /usr/local/src.<br>
<br>
Is there something else I need to do to locate, or create, the source tree directory for Subsurface?<br>
<br></blockquote>With Subsurface (and software development generally), files can mostly be classified as either "source" (what the developers write), and "binary" (what your computer actually runs). The source is "built" to create the binary files, which are then made available to users such as through the Ubuntu ppa. If you installed Subsurface from the ppa, you will have installed the binary package only.<br><br>The best way to obtain the source files is through the git repository, following the instructions <a href="https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/building/">https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/building/</a>. If you scroll down the page it gives you the commands to type in Ubuntu and similar distributions. Those instructions build Subsurface, but not the SmartTrak tool. To do that (following the directions in the user manual), you first need to install the *development* versions of libglib2.0 (I use Fedora but I think the package is called libglib2.0-dev on Ubuntu) and libmdb2 (I think mdbtools-dev), and configure with SMARTTRAK_IMPORT set on prior to building.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Putting that all together...<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Install prerequisites for Subsurface and the additional prerequisites for the SmartTrak tool.<br><pre><code>sudo apt-get install git g++ make autoconf libtool cmake pkg-config
