Actually you need to build with debug symbols enabled (-g with gcc and g++). There won't be any difference on the final binary package if you use -g, since dh_strip will remove the debug symbols. Compiling with debug symbols is good, since we can use DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip and create a package for debug purposes (when dh_strip finds "nostrip", it won't remove the debug symbols). So it's unnecessary to remove the -g flag from the Makefile. Also, you are hardcoding the CXXFLAGS in your patch, that is also not good (for example, the noopt option won't work; your package will always be compiled with -O2, instead -O0). The best thing to do is to use $(MAKE) CXXFLAGS="$(CXXFLAGS)" on line 26 of your debian/rules, and include all the needed flags on the beginning, where you define CFLAGS (it should be CXXFLAGS). And "dch -r" is your friend and it will updated the UNRELEASED entry in changelog to unstable ;-) Best regards, Nelson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
