Documentation for CDBS certainly is lacking behind :-(Could you point to the specific phrase in the documentation that is wrong?Sorry. Meant to say "it was *not* documented ..." In other words, it was not documented however that in order to do this, the target 'binary-makedeb-IMPL/%' had to be overridden.
Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying.
Depending on what exactly you wanted to do, I believe the proper approach is to set DEB_DH_SHLIBDEPS_ARGS.dpkg-shlibdeps won't help in the case where a library is dlopened, thus making it necessary to manually add the dependencies in for a package.
Are you shure you don't mean dh_shlibdeps above? I believe (but have not played with it) that you can spoon-feed dependencies as options to dpkg-shlibdeps, and thus to dh_shlibdeps as well.
Could you provide an example of the approach you believe necessary? Kind regards, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
