Hmm. Just tried this... The 'apt-get source' works fine, but the
'apt-get --compile' doesn't. It wants to download the whole lot again;
it appears to have forgotten that it's just done that. (ie, it does
what man apt-get seems to suggest it will do.)
Does this mean that I have to put a deb-src file: line in
sources.list, and cobble together a Packages file to sit in the
download directory? I've tried this, creating the Packages file by
cutting out the relevant package from the Debian Packages file and
changing the package directory to the local one, and it appears to be
working as I type, but is there a better way of doing it?
Attached is the transscript of exactly what happened when I ran it.
Btw, I used an modified version of the script, which allows it to
be more generic:
export CC=gcc-3.2
export CFLAGS='-Wall -O2 -march=pentiumpro'
export CXX=g++-3.2
export CFLAGS='-Wall -O2 -m486'
pnam=gqview
pver='=1.0.2-1'
apt-get source ${pnam}${pver}
apt-get --compile source ${pnam}${pver}
Note this bit from the apt-get --compile source ${pnam}${pver}
command:
Need to get 647kB of source archives.
Get:1 http://mirrors.kernel.org sarge/main gqview 1.0.2-1 (dsc)
[630B]
Get:2 http://mirrors.kernel.org sarge/main gqview 1.0.2-1 (tar)
[643kB]
Get:3 http://mirrors.kernel.org sarge/main gqview 1.0.2-1 (diff)
[3679B]
Fetched 3B in 0s (13B/s)
Skipping unpack of already unpacked source in gqview-1.0.2
So, apt-get goes out to get the source, but sees that the source
already exists in the current directory, and then skips the source
download.

Ah... I get it now. This didn't work for me because I went offline
immediately after the download, and not realising that it wouldn't
actually do anything, refused to go online again. So the file: line in
sources.list to give the local copy higher priority seems to be not a
bad setup for me.
Thanks,

Oh, man! Thanks for pointing that out...
That's kinda nasty. I think CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are better places to
put this sort of thing.
That's what I generally do, but some non-Debian stuff sometimes has
nasty makefiles that don't take account of your CFLAGS, or even your
CC, which leads to even uglier hacks like
# cd /usr/bin
# mv gcc-2.95 realgcc-2.95
# cat gcc-2.95
exec /usr/bin/realgcc-2.95 -Wall -O2 -march=i686 ${*}
^D
# chmod a+x gcc-2.95
Blech!
or something along those lines. Yuk! (Raise both wings high above
back, whack offending code with one of them)
gcc-2.95 v. 3.2: I've got 2.95 at the moment because that's what I've
been used to. Before I download big source packages, am I right in
thinking that 3.2 itself runs slower, but the code it produces runs
faster? And the difference is quite noticeable?
So they say. On the few things I've tried it on, I haven't noticed.
