Hi, Is it possible to have a generic debian/rules that creates directories?
The upstream Makefiles was not designed to install into $DESTDIR but to /, so it assumes /usr/bin exists, while that creates problems for me: install -s -m 755 autogb /export/build/zh-autoconvert/bld/zh- autoconvert-0.3.16/debian/tmp/usr/bin install: cannot create regular file '/export/build/zh-autoconvert/bld/ zh-autoconvert-0.3.16/debian/tmp/usr/bin': No such file or directory Is it possible to alter the following `debian/rules` file so that it plays nicely with such upstream Makefiles? Thanks $ cat debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f # -*- makefile -*- # Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper. # # This file was originally written by Joey Hess and Craig Small. # As a special exception, when this file is copied by dh-make into a # dh-make output file, you may use that output file without restriction. # This special exception was added by Craig Small in version 0.37 of dh- make. # # Modified to make a template file for a multi-binary package with separated # build-arch and build-indep targets by Bill Allombert 2001 # Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode. #export DH_VERBOSE=1 # This has to be exported to make some magic below work. export DH_OPTIONS %: dh $@ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
