I haven't built any debian packages from source before so this may be something I'm doing wrong, but I've checked the Debian FAQ on buidling from source and I've built the test package "hello" successfully so I think I've got the basics all in place.
Now I want to build kdebase from source as I want to get a version with the Kamera patch applied (see http://www.thekompany.com/projects/gphoto/ for details). I used apt to get the source files and unpack them. But I couldn't build the binary deb from this cleanly as after the long compile phase I got the following errors: dh_movefiles -pkonqueror find: usr/bin/nspluginviewer: No such file or directory find: usr/bin/nspluginscan: No such file or directory find: usr/bin/nspluginviewer: No such file or directory find: usr/bin/nspluginscan: No such file or directory make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 I'm running Potato with the latest updates applied. I edited debian/konqueror.files and removed the four lines for nspluginviewer and nspluginscan and their associated info files. Then I tried to build the binary deb with: debian/rules binary This seemed to work but I ended up with twelve deb files not the one I was expecting: kdebase-dev_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb kdebase-doc_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb kdebase-libs_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb kdebase_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb kdewallpapers_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb kdm_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb konqueror_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb konsole_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb libkonq-dev_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb libkonq3_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb task-kde-devel_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb task-kde_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb So although I only downloaded one source package I seem to have got twelve binaries. I wasn't expecting this. What is happening here? Am I going about things in the right way? The Kamera build instructions just say to apply over clean kdebase source and ./configure && make && make install but this doesn't seem right for debian packaged source. Thanks David Morgan
