When I try to build ARMEL package from debian sources I get the error that directory debian cannot be found by dpkg-packagebuilder. I applied patches and directory debian is inside of library directory. Here is an output for http_fetcher- 1.0.1, for example:
[snip]
Name "main::DEBIAN_DIR" used only once: possible typo at /usr/bin/dh_testdir line 37. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/dh_testdir line 37. dh_testdir: "/control" not found. Are you sure you are in the correct directory? make: *** [clean] Error 1 I tried to do export DEBIAN_DIR=debian but without luck. Any suggestions how to resolve this?
Sounds like a bug in dh_testdir, possibly related to the fact that libhttpfetcher is no longer in Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libh/libhttpfetcher.html Perhaps the source package is out of date compared with the version of the dpkg tools in Maemo (which is closer to `etch' AFAICT)? Is `apt-get update/upgrade' up-to-date in your Scratchbox? Does it happen for other packages? You may also be interested in `mud' (Maemo Unofficial Debs) it's an auto-builder I've started to make it easier porting stuff from upstream sources (e.g. Debian): http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/ Any thoughts would be most welcome: it's still at an early stage so now's the time to say ;-) For example, the package file necessary to build libhttpfetcher was: libhttpfetcher.xml: <package> <fetch type="debian"> <name>libhttpfetcher1</name> <deb-src>http://ftp.debian.org/ stable main</deb-src> </fetch> </package> The "name" and "deb-src" lines default to the filename and etch if missing. This has successfully built a deb on my Scratchbox install: 14672 Jan 11 13:54 upload/libhttpfetcher-dev_1.0.1-3_i386.deb 7732 Jan 11 13:54 upload/libhttpfetcher1_1.0.1-3_i386.deb Note that the auto-Maemoification has yet to be done, such as prefixing the "Section" in debian/control with "user/". This woudwould be turned off for these packages anyway, I suspect. I've checked it in so you can try it yourself you like; source is in Subversion at the Garage: https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=63 Hope that helps, Andrew -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.bleb.org/ _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
