Sorry. Meant to say "it was *not* documented ..." In other words, it was not documented however that in order to do this, the target 'binary-makedeb-IMPL/%' had to be overridden. > Depending on what exactly you wanted to do, I believe the proper > approach is to set DEB_DH_SHLIBDEPS_ARGS. dpkg-shlibdeps won't help in the case where a library is dlopened, thus making it necessary to manually add the dependencies in for a package. > > Kind regards, > > - Jonas -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
