14 DAY TRIAL // Didier Roche, the creator of the Ubuntu Make command-line utility that lets users of the Ubuntu Linux operating system install various useful third-party projects, has announced the release of a new maintenance version.
Ubuntu Make 15.09 is now available for download (see below for installation instructions) on all supported 64-bit Ubuntu OSes, including Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet), and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr), introducing experimental support for the recently announced Unity 3D Editor software.
"The 'experimental' comes from the fact that it's experimental upstream as well, there is only one version out (and so, no download section when we'll always fetch latest) and no checksum support. We talked about it on upstream's IRC channel and will work with them on this in the future," says Didier Roche.
But that's not all, as the new Ubuntu Make 15.09 release fixes issues with the download of the Arduino open-source electronic prototyping platform that allows developers to create interactive electronic objects, which was broken due to some upstream changes in the versioning scheme, the addition of license support for Android NDK, as well as various under-the-hood improvements and bugfixes.
