It's all ok, but when I do debuild, at compile stage, it cannot find includes, for example, when I type make manually I see: gcc -c -o -I.. -I../.. -ggdb -O2 common.c but when I do debuild or dpkg-buildpackage I see gcc -c -o -ggdb -O2 common.c That's because your upstream's build system is broken; the CBS make invocation sets CFLAGS, and your upstream's Makefile isn't properly coded to keep other flags like -I around when CFLAGS is set. A temporary workaround is to just override the rule and not set CFLAGS; the real solution is to fix the Makefile so that this works.

I'll have more comments when I've stretched it's legs a little, but for now, I'd encourage all DD's (and other people who package) to have a look at it and give it a go. Hopefully at least a few people will take heed and make their packages build a little nicer. -- Matthew Palmer, Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org
