I need to generate a Debian package for a library As an exercise I tried it with libvirt . I am running a Ubuntu 8.10 . and use the libvirt.0.6.1 tar.gz
For the library package I followed the Ubuntu instructions at : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Basic (I first generated a .deb for the hello program and it went ok) For the library I did : 1. got the tar of libvirt . made a copy to orig.tar.gz 2. untarred the tared library . cd to the untarred code 3. there ran : dh_make -e your.maintai...@address . This created the debian directory. Got no bad commnets from lintian. 4. ran : debuild -S -us -uc (to avoid gpg for now) That generated the ../*.dsc and ../*.diff.gz . Looks ok. 5. ran: sudo pbuilder build ../*.dsc ( changed the debian/rules to have ./configure --with-xen=no otherwise it complained about xs_read missing in libxenstore - which exists . libxen3, libxen3-deb are installed ok) But now during the ./confugre run I get the following message : ..... checking for pkg-config... no checking libxml2 xml2-config >= 2.5.0 ... configure: error: Could not find libxml2 anywhere (see config.log for details). make: *** [config.status] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package -> Aborting with an error -> unmounting dev/pts filesystem -> unmounting proc filesystem -> cleaning the build env ... pkg-config is installed and the newest . libxml2 is installed and newest (/usr/lib/) and xml2-config --version gives 2.6.32 so why does the system complain : Could not find libxml2 anywhere . BTW: config.log was not generated yet . Any idea/ help ? thanks Zvi Dubitzky Email:d...@il.ibm.com IBM Haifa Research Laboratory Phone: +972-4-8296182 Haifa, 31905, ISRAEL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
