Josh, Things are not as simple for me as they are for you apparently.
Entering 'fakeroot apt-get -b source openmotif' breaks just after building the docs with the compile error message: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/laurent/openmotif-2.1.30/work/motif/config/imake' gcc DefaultGcc2PpcOpt -fsigned-char -I../../include -I../../imports/x11/include/X11 -I../.. -I../../exports/include -I../../imports/x11/include -Dlinux -D__powerpc__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNO_MESSAGE_CATALOG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DCPP_PROGRAM="\"/lib/cpp\"" -c -o imake.o imake.c gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make[3]: *** [imake.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/laurent/openmotif-2.1.30/work/motif/config/imake' make[2]: *** [imake.bootstrap] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/laurent/openmotif-2.1.30/work/motif' make[1]: *** [World] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/laurent/openmotif-2.1.30/work/motif' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 Build command 'cd openmotif-2.1.30 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed. E: Child process failed I am running a vanilla testing system (did an apt-get update just before) with gcc 2.95.4. How come your build succeeded?
