Hello, So I am creating my first Debian package from source and I am now stuck with
|dh_installdeb dpkg-genbuildinfo dpkg-genbuildinfo: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; .buildinfo is meaningless | which I have difficulties finding information for. But my recipe may be wrong so any input will be appreciated. I gave more details here (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1173509/creating-a-deb-dpkg-genbuildinfo-buildinfo-is-meaningless) and here they are: I am building a .deb from sources. In the |debian/| folder I have: * compat to 10 * copyright * changelog * control * rules My control file: |Source: foo Maintainer: foo developers Section: Web Software Priority: extra Version: 1.3.1 Standards-Version: 1.3.1 Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.0.0) Package: foo Architecture: any Priority: extra Homepage: http://foo.com Depends: sbcl (>= 1.3), ${shlibs:Depends}, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (>= 2.24), default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus, glib-networking, sqlite, gsettings-desktop-schemas, libfixposix, gstreamer, gst-plugins-base-1.0, xclip, ${misc:Depends} Description: foo foo is foo. | My rules file: |#!/usr/bin/make -f DH_VERBOSE = 1 %: dh $@ NAME=foo VERSION=1.3.1 DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/$(NAME)/ build: dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_prep make all # I quickly tried this # override_dh_auto_build: # dh_auto_build -- all # with no apparent effect # (I want to call `make all` of my Makefile). binary: dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_installchangelogs dh_prep echo $(DESTDIR) make install DESTDIR=$(DESTDIR) dh_installdeb # dh_gencontrol # dh_md5sums # dh_builddeb # only for binary packages ? # override_dh_auto_binary: # make install clean: dh_testdir dh_testroot # make clean DESTDIR=$(DESTDIR) # dh_clean | I run everything with |sudo debuild -us -uc| || I can see the compilation steps, until the error message. I see my binary (actually two binaries) under |debian/foo/usr/local/bin|. There is a directory |debian/foo/DEBIAN/|, but empty. I understand that's OK, DEBIAN would be for binary packages. Note that when I run the binary target only with |sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary | it finishes alright: |for i in 16 32 128 256 512; do \ mkdir -p "/home/vince/work/foo/debian/foo//usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/${i}x${i}/apps/" ; \ cp -f assets/foo_${i}x${i}.png "/home/vince/work/foo/debian/foo//usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/${i}x${i}/apps/foo.png" ; \ done make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vince/work/foo' dh_installdeb | Thanks! ||
