So what ? I already made 4 packages with sources from my Precise 12.04 http://sourceforge.net/projects/zint/
The sources will need libpng12 however for those have installed libpn 1.5 and up 'libpng15/png.h' no longer includes 'zlib.h'. You must do it yourself. In 'convert.c': #include <png.h> #include <zlib.h> Then it's straight forward Compile the sources ___________________ $ tar -zxf zint-2.4.3.tar.gz $ cd zint-2.4.3 $ mkdir build $ cd build/ $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..

Edit the control file from the extracted sources zint-2.4.3/debian/control to make 4 packages For example $ cd zint-2.4.2/build $ mkdir zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64 $ mkdir zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64/DEBIAN $ mkdir zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64/usr $ mkdir zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64/usr/bin $ mkdir zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64/usr/lib $ mkdir zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64/usr/share Copy the control file in the DEBIAN folder. Then compute the md5sums file $ cd zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64 $ find ./usr -type f -exec md5sum {} \;>>md5sums.md5 $ mv md5sums.md5 DEBIAN/md5sums $ cd .. $ dpkg-deb -b zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64 $ sudo chmod 664 zint_2.4.2-0ubuntu0~precise_amd64.deb the same for the 3 other packages ... Anyone as has a quicker fix to build these packages ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569249 Title: [needs-packaging] zint To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/569249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
