Package: debian-policy Version: 3.2.0.0 Hi,
Section `4.1 Binaries' says: CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall INSTALL = install ifneq (,$(findstring debug,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) CFLAGS += -g ifneq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) INSTALL += -s endif endif The second ifneq needs to be ifeq. Furthermore, I think this form would be a bit more readable: ifneq "$(findstring debug,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))" "" CFLAGS += -g endif ifeq "$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))" "" INSTALL += -s endif Or even: ifeq "$(findstring debug,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))" "debug" CFLAGS += -g endif ifneq "$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))" "nostrip" INSTALL += -s endif Or a combination :) Pick whichever people find nicest, as long as the logic is correct. -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
