When not using emdebuild, you need to set the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS that emdebuild would set - nodocs in this case. I assume you're using dpkg-buildpackage for the native build so the command, to be compliant with Emdebian Policy, would be: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nodocs" dpkg-buildpackage (with your usual dpkg command line options). Sorry, that should be mentioned somewhere - feel free to add details to the Wiki. Another useful build option is "nocheck": DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nodocs nocheck" dpkg-buildpackage You don't need to use emdebuild (and you shouldn't have to) but it might be worth trying emdebuild in case of queries with dpkg-buildpackage - asking emdebuild to build for i386 on i386 will just result in a normal build with the emdebuild wrapper. > I am not sure if i understood the email "Native builds > and other uses of emdebian-tools" sent to the emdebian list. > Anyway i am reporting here the buggy patch. It's as much a bug in the documentation for native builds (which itself is very sparse). To help explain that email to the debian-embedded list: 1. File bugs just like this - with one tweak, if the issue relates to a specific package you are building with emdebian-tools (or Emdebian patches), please mention the source package name in the title of the bug report. 2. Keep this bug as a general bug for native build issues, particularly relating to things that should be documented or supported more visibly. I'll tag and add details to the bug logs to indicate which Debian bugs are blocking the solution and keep you informed of updates. 3. I'll merge bugs if need be - just keep filing as you come across stuff, I'll only forget otherwise. If you have any suggestions for documentation, please add them here. > Lines 83, and 107 of debian/rules.

"ifeq" That is a common misconception related to how debian/rules uses findstring - http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianGuide ifeq (,$(findstring nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) $(MAKE) check endif ifeq tests the value before the comma (null) against the return value from findstring. In this case it means that if findstring *fails* to find 'nocheck' in the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable, the conditional resolves as true. A kind of double-negative. Therefore: ifeq (,$(findstring nodocs,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) install foo.1 debian/foo/usr/share/man/man1/ ... endif If nodocs is *not* set, the man page is installed (and the Emdebian lintian check will fail). That could be added to the docs too. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
