Bug#570069: [gud...@gudjon.org: Re: [comedi] libcomedi0 removed from debian testing]
Do you remember why we separated them in the first place? Were there some dependency problems? We could def get comedi_calibrate back in with the option to enable/disable it. Would make life much easier. /Bernd On 03/05/12 14:08, Ian Abbott wrote: Oh right, so the problem is due to the debian comedilib source package merging the comedi_calibrate sources back in to the comedilib sources. If comedi_calibrate had its own debian source package this extra configure option wouldn't be needed. Might be better off avoiding needless extra comedi_calibrate configure options and either splitting the debian source package or retro-patching the comedi_calibrate stuff back in at the autoconf/automake level, basically undoing these two patches: <http://comedi.org/git?p=comedi/comedilib.git;a=blobdiff;f=configure.ac;h=bcc1ae532bd97c5cdf5444e8923e1c33763d6f90;hp=4740a18a1ac4bba20ec80e04c98823342b8e921b;hb=c632d4e636aa89acd4543aea4d04aa32ac05da94;hpb=d4fd5f7b087d96676f53d3d74fde681baa26270c> <http://comedi.org/git?p=comedi/comedilib.git;a=blobdiff;f=Makefile.am;h=6abfe2227c32553f416bb13382bba451fb01e10e;hp=8a75b7b587bf413d17477bd9f4cc1c8563cded85;hb=64d90d7f374c64cdce46aff0e397ba35f33563e6;hpb=c632d4e636aa89acd4543aea4d04aa32ac05da94> On 2012/05/03 01:50 PM, Bernd Porr wrote: I've got this now compiling.

Can you please add some command line parameter that makes configure not search for libcomedi.so while configuring comedi_calibrate? Then I don't have to patch configure. Patching configure is a bad habit since the configure scripts can be regenerated and then the patch doesn't work anymore. There are dependencies on unnecessary libraries. Is it possible/easy to fix that before the release?

Hi, I've just tried to build a new debian package for libcomedi based on the latest git package Gudjon has provided. It fails trying to patch the comedi-calibrate. It cannot find the ./configure script (though it's there). Here's everything: the original package and my attempt to create a new version. http://www.linux-usb-daq.co.uk/tmp/comedilib.tar.gz Anyway. I've corrected the ./configure call in rules using the new options we have added during the last couple of days.
