Thanks much!! I wish it worked :( I copied all the debian control files from the 2.4.4 release: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_2_4_4/install/debian/ and, putting that debian directory into my own source directory... (which I got from sourceforge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Source/2.4.4/fpc-2.4.4.source.tar.gz) debuild -us -uc keeps complaining about a directory called "fpcsrc". I tried all kinds of crazy things to remedy this but it's a no-go, I cannot get it to work at all. Ignoring the debian stuff, I can run "make clean all" and it works great!! but this debian/rules thing is super-lame in its non-working behavior. Any ideas? This must have worked for somebody, because the packages exist... Thanks, David following are extensive notes of all the crazy things I tried! Thank goodness for long terminal histories! I hope you are not so bored as to want to read them, but they're here. First I got this error: Applying patch version.diff can't find file to patch at input line 5 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |This patch adds Debian build version to compiler full version. | |--- fpc-2.2.4~/fpcsrc/compiler/version.pas |+++ fpc-2.2.4/fpcsrc/compiler/version.pas -------------------------- No file to patch. Skipping patch. 2 out of 2 hunks ignored Patch version.diff does not apply (enforce with -f) make: *** [debian/stamp-patched] Error 1 So I just deleted the whole patches directory. It is strange the the version is wrong, too (2.2.4 instead of 2.4.4) Then I got this error: # Remove auto-generated version file. rm -rf fpcsrc/compiler/version.inc # Add version.inc: echo \'2.4.4-0\' > fpcsrc/compiler/version.inc /bin/sh: fpcsrc/compiler/version.inc: No such file or directory Well, the file version.inc doesn't exist anyway, so I took all instances of it out of debian/rules Then I got this error: --- Cleaning dh_testdir dh_testroot /usr/bin/make -C fpcsrc compiler_distclean make: *** fpcsrc: No such file or directory. Stop. So I changed the name to fpc, but that didn't fix it at all: /usr/bin/make -C fpc compiler_distclean make: *** fpc: No such file or directory. Stop. So I tried taking out the -C parameters altogether, but that also didn't work: /usr/bin/make compiler_distclean make[1]: Entering directory `/Docs/fpc/Debian/fpc' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `compiler_distclean'. Stop. I gave up on getting debian/rules to work and thought, maybe there is something wrong with my fpc sources, like, some naming could be off? So I tried downloading the svn version from http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_4_4 This also did not come with the debian controls included. And a comparison showed that the svn 2.4.4 release sources are identical to the ones I already had. Part of me was kind of expecting that to be the case, but of course part of me was also hoping that *something* would work. But since they're identical, obviously it won't. find -name '*fpcsrc*' comes up empty. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
