Hello. I'm trying to build 1.9.0 rc3 on a Debian unstable system. Since there are already debian/* files in place, I'm trying to use them. However, it's not so easy: Just after unpacking the tarball and installing all the build-dependencies, I do this:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us and this is what happens: [...] dpkg-checkbuilddeps: failure: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory If the intent is to provide a source tarball which also serves as a Debian source package, then this is a bug. Every Debian source package should have a debian/control file. Please include this file in rc4. Ok, by looking at the build system it seems the debian/control file is generated by ./configure, so I run ./configure, take the debian/control file, remove everything, unpack the original tarball from scratch, and put the debian/control file in place. Then I try again and this is what happens at the end: [...] dh_movefiles: debian/inst-x86_64/usr/lib/pkgconfig not found (supposed to put it in libmjpegtools-dev) dh_movefiles: debian/inst-x86_64/usr/bin not found (supposed to put it in mjpegtools) I can solve the first error by removing the line "usr/lib/pkgconfig" from debian/libmjpegtools-dev.files Removing "usr/bin" from debian/mjpegtools.files is not an option for the second error, because then none of the generated .deb files have any binaries in /usr/bin. There seems to be a bug somewhere here. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
