I'm trying to compile xemacs20_2.2-4 for my bo (read: libc5) system. I modified the portion of the debian/rules file that called the configure script so that it configured things the way I wanted them, and the make seems to go fine (well, actually there are quite a few "warnings" on compile, but nothing that looks too bad) until it gets to the dpkg-shlibdeps bit; at that point I get loads of errors of the form:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unknown output from ldd on `debian/tmp/xemacs20/usr/bin/b2m.xemacs20': ` libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4000a000)' (I've wrapped the error text for readability) I also get several warnings of files for which ldd produced nothing on standard output, but I assume I can ignore those, as they indeed don't have shared library dependencies. I then get a complaint from dpkg --search about not being passed any arguments, and the make bombs. I assume that dpkg --search isn't being passed any arguments because dpkg-shlibdeps couldn't identify any libraries in the ldd output - so what exactly does dpkg-shlibdeps want ldd to hand it? Why isn't my ldd doing that? Package versions, etc: dpkg 1.4.0.8 dpkg-dev 1.4.0.8 ldso 1.9.6-2 gcc 2.7.2.1-8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
