hi * so after reading also java-policy and something from http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ the report is:
i've a directory imagej-1.30s where i've: 4 drwxrwxr-x 10 paolo 4096 2003-08-12 15:32 source 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 paolo 224 2003-08-12 12:25 microscope.png 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 paolo 25 2003-08-08 14:26 MANIFEST.MF 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 paolo 1190 2003-08-12 15:58 Makefile 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 paolo 4096 2003-08-12 15:59 jars 4 drwxr-xr-x 6 paolo 4096 2003-08-12 16:12 ImageJ_Docs 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 paolo 187 2003-08-12 16:19 imagej 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 paolo 13574 2003-08-08 14:26 IJ_Props.txt 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 paolo 4096 2003-08-12 15:59 debian 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 paolo 918 2003-08-08 14:26 aREADME.txt 1. source directory contains all .java 2. Makefile was adapted from jmol (but i've to understand more) 3. jars directory there is the ij.jar (the program ImageJ) 4. ImageJ_Docs contain html pdf and so on 5. imagej is a file with: $command -jar /usr/share/java/ij.jar 6. IJ_Props.txt is a configuration file that ImageJ read launching 7. debian is the obvious dir i've modified the necessary files in debian/ but i continue to have some doubt on the Makefile, build.xml and rules. When i start dpkg-buildpackage: 1. it has to recompile my java source or it could install the ij.jar i've in /jars. If it try to recompile the source code it read the Makefile ? or build.xml ? 2. where you say where to install the ij.jar and the wrapper(?) with $command -jar /usr/share/java/ij.jar ? trying dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot i obtain: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot dpkg-buildpackage: source package is imagej dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 1.30s-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Paolo Ariano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 fakeroot debian/rules clean test -f debian/rules rm -f build /usr/bin/make -f Makefile clean make[1]: Entering directory `/data/paolo2/dev/imagej-1.30s' make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/paolo2/dev/imagej-1.30s' rm -f `find . -name "*~"` rm -rf debian/tmp debian/files* core debian/substvars dpkg-source -b imagej-1.30s dpkg-source: building imagej in imagej_1.30s-1.tar.gz dpkg-source: building imagej in imagej_1.30s-1.dsc debian/rules build test -f debian/rules /usr/bin/make -f Makefile archive make[1]: Entering directory `/data/paolo2/dev/imagej-1.30s' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `archive'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/paolo2/dev/imagej-1.30s' touch build fakeroot debian/rules binary test -f debian/rules test root = "`whoami`" test -f debian/rules test -f debian/rules rm -rf debian/tmp install -d debian/tmp cd debian/tmp && install -d `cat ../dirs` /usr/bin/make -f Makefile install DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp make[1]: Entering directory `/data/paolo2/dev/imagej-1.30s' install: impossibile fare stat di `./ij.jar': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/paolo2/dev/imagej-1.30s' make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 thanks paolo -- Paolo Ariano Neuroscience PhD Student DBAU & INFM Turin (Italy) I bravi ragazzi vanno in Paradiso, i cattivi in Giro - <Riccardo M. _____________________________________________________________________ For your security, this mail has been scanned and protected by Inflex
