Hello, Could someone please point me to the documentation for building debs from source *WITH* changes to the source (via the configure script)?
I'm trying to compile PostgreSQL from source, after having done an "apt-get source postgresql". After the download, dpkg-source was automatically run. Going into the directory: ./configure --with-perl debian/rules build While it seems to compile, it also later complains about missing python (which is functionality that I *DON'T* want built in). I can think of no other way to keep this from happening other than editing the "debian/rules" file and removing whatever I don't like....this seems rather half-assed, so I'm assuming there's a better way. I've tried man'ing the dpkg-source source management utils, only to be completely baffled by the cryptic docs... help? thanks! -lev
