The build path, several binary paths, and the value of the SHELL variable are embedded in example Makefiles shipped in the package: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/cppunit.html /usr/share/doc/libcppunit-doc/examples/ClockerPlugIn/Makefile.gz ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/1st/cppunit-1.15.1/missing'·aclocal-1.16 vs. ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/2/cppunit-1.15.1/2nd/missing'·aclocal-1.16 GREP·=·/bin/grep vs. GREP·=·/usr/bin/grep SHELL·=·/bin/bash vs. SHELL·=·/bin/sh Since these values may differ with the installed system, in order to use the example Makefiles, a person would have to regenerate them from Makefile.am or Makefile.in, which are also provided. The attached patch adjusts debian/rules to remove the Makefiles before running dh_compress. If that is somehow not an option, an alternate option would be to sanitize the Makefiles stripping the build path (or replacing with /usr/src?), and possibly passing various variables to configure (e.g. GREP=/bin/grep, SHELL=/bin/sh, ...). Thanks for maintaining cppunit! live well, vagrant
