Hi, Because I want (actually need) the Boost package 1.41 I must compile it myself as there is no Boost 1.41 (yet) in Debian testing (or sid). I really want to use Debian packages for better maintenance of my (installed) software, but I cannot get the software compiled into deb packages.
I asked this on the Boost list but the solution they gave me there did not work: $ tar xvfz boost1.41.tgz $ apt-get source libboost1.40-dev $ mv boost1.40-1.40.0/debian boost1.41 $ cd boost1.41 $ cd debian && (replace all 1.40 occurences with 1.41) $ dpkg-buildpackage It stopped with errors like: # package libboost-doc rm -rf debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML mkdir -p debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML cat debian/documentation-files | xargs cp --parents --target-directory=debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML cp: cannot stat `doc/html/bbv2/advanced.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_droppabl_id549540.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_error_of_id551416.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_extended_id551963.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_extended_id551979.html': No such file or directory Is there a recipe for Dummies (that's me!) that works?
