[maemo-developers] automake

2005-08-26 Thread Timo Steuerwald

Hi all,

In the package db is only an automake1.8 package available, but on 
command line I can see that also automake-1.4 and 1.7 is installed. It 
seems that both version come from autotools-dev package On common debian 
systems there is an automake. package for each version.
IMHO because of 1.4 and 1.7 are installed in 
/scratchbox/tools/autotools, I can also not use update-alternatives:



[sbox-SDK_PC: /] > update-alternatives --config automake

There is only 1 program which provides automake
(/usr/bin/automake-1.8). Nothing to configure.


Is there already a package out there for automake 1.6?
Is there a site like http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages or 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or - instead of this - apt-file where I can 
see which file belongs to which package?


Cheers,

Timo

If you are using 1.0.x (or 0.9.8.5, I'm not sure that this feature is
backported though) you can use SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE env variable:

SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE
Specifies which automake version the 'automake' command points
to.  Available versions are 1.4, 1.7 and 1.8 (default).

SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOCONF
Specifies which autoconf version the 'autoconf' command points
to.  Available versions are 2.13 and 2.59 (you can also
specify 2.50 which is an alias for 2.59).  The default is to
automatically guess the appropriate version, so you should not
set this variable under normal circumstances.

That is the one installed in the "target" side of scratchbox (and will
be removed when resetting the target)...

..and these are most likely a part of a scratchbox toolkit, and thus
are not visible to the package management (these won't go away even if
you reset your target).

You can probably use the package form Debian, if you really need the
1.6 version.

Find package which contains a file:
  dpkg -S 

List files in a package:
  dpkg -L

Hi,

If you are using sb 1.0 series there is an environment variable for 
this called SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE. Take a look at the variables list:

variables for 1.0 -series:
http://viewcvs.scratchbox.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/scratchbox/doc/variables.txt?rev=1.18&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

With sb 0.9.8 you have to use SBOX_REDIRECT_BINARIES environment 
variable. I'm not totally sure it works though...

variables for 0.9.8 -series:
http://viewcvs.scratchbox.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/scratchbox/doc/variables.txt?rev=1.11.2.1&only_with_tag=SBOX_0_9_8_5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Ups, yes. I have forgotten this possibility, I already thought I must 
build it myself from source.

List files in a package:

Thanks a lot! I didn't know that this is also possible with dpkg.

Thought I'd share some hints for reference, these are not so common
knowledge among "normal" users.

If a package is not compatible with the Maemo environment (optional
dependancies missing, compiled with wrong options or something like
that), you also try to recompile the package yourself. To do this you
can simply issue the command

  fakeroot apt-get  source -b 

if you have the approperiate deb-src entry in apt's sources.list file.
Any source code distribution that has the debian directory can be
build as a debian package with

  fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

in the source directory. Add a -b option if you only want binary packages.

Apt and dpkg are powerful tools when used right :)
