Dear developers, I have a question concerning debuild / dpkg-buildpackage CLI options. In particular "man debuild" says:
=== cut == If a particular environment variable is required to be passed through untouched to the build process, this may be specified by using a --preserve-envvar envvar (which can also be written as -e envvar option). [...] It is also possible to avoid having to type something like FOO=bar debuild -e FOO by writing debuild -e FOO=bar or the long form debuild --set-envvar FOO=bar. === cut == When I use this option: # debuild -sa -us -uc --set-envvar JAVA_HOME=test I got the following error: debuild: unknown dpkg-buildpackage/debuild option: --set-envvar debuild: unknown dpkg-buildpackage/debuild option: JAVA_HOME=test dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -sa --set-envvar JAVA_HOME=test dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument --set-envvar debuild: fatal error at line 1325: I also tried the suggested "--preserve-envvar JAVA_HOME" and "-e JAVA_HOME" with similar error. So, how is it possible to preserve a variable and/or to (re-)define it? Looks to be a trivial problem, but I am completely stuck. Thanks in advance for any hint!
