Duh. Okay. I missed that step after getting confused from the whole thing not compiling alone. A thousand pardons for the static. I added the lines to dirs, and it finishes now, but this brings up the final question: Are the manual pages changed to executable normally? How do I avoid this?

I checked and I am linking with -lc. But the -Wl thing. Is it in addition to the -Wl,-Bsymbolic I've already got or should it replace it? i.e. -shared, -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,soname,libtwin.so.3.2 -D_REENTRANT or -shared -Wl,soname,libtwin.so.3.2 -D_REENTRANT Thanks for your help. -- Jaldhar

Do you have a line that says usr/man/man1 in your dirs file? It looks like that directory is not being created in debian/TMP. Also make sure there isn't a leading / before usr. And btw instead of chown/chgrp/chmod you might want to look into using install(1) to move files around. -- Jaldhar

You have everything right so far. You need to make sure that it links with "-lc" (libc) and that it sets the soname. This is done w/ -Wl,soname,libfoo.so.. This makes it so that multiple libs can co-exist. Like libc5 and libc6 do. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject

I'm packaging the Windows emulator TWIN. It's my first library package and the experience has been very educational (though in retrospect I think I should have picked something a little smaller.) I have a a nice -dev package. I have nice static libraries. I'm still getting problems with shared

debmake doesn't make the build script it is include in the debmake package. Or was. I forget exactly when but somewhere down the line build and other scripts were moved into their own package called devscripts. (The current version of "Creating a package with debmake" mentions you need devscript

Hi! I am working on a package called 'heyu' for X-10 control. I am trying to follow The New-Maintainer's Debian Packaging Howto and Creating a Package using Debmake files, but they refer to things that aren't happening on my system. :( I had it built into a .deb file fine with deb-make under 1.
