Hi My best wished to everybody for a Happy New Year! I managed to to build almost all 3.0.5a-KDE packages for PowerPC (based on the sources provided at http://download.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.5a/Debian/woody/. For each package I proceeded like this (using a home grown Ruby script): - First created a debootstrap environment for woody. - used chroot to executed the steps: >- Additionally: apt-get install build-essential devscripts >- dpkg-source -x *.dsc > made the following substitutions in debian.control libpng3-dev -> libpng2-dev libaudio-dev -> libaudiofile-dev >- apt-get install <all mentioned dependencies> For the following packages needed additional dependencies: qt3 libpng2-dev kdeartwork xlibs-dev zlib1g-dev kdeedu xlibs-dev kdegames libfam-dev libasound2-dev kdegraphics libqt3-dev imlib-dev libpng2 libpng2-dev >- debuild >- testing whethter dpkg -i <new *.deb> ; apt -f install verified, that all the builded packages could be installed (in the same chroot)
I hope these (small) changes will find their way back into the CVS. I think some of these omissions (kdeedu, kdegames,kdeartwork) are also in the 3.1 branch. I have one big problem: kdeadmin does not complete, because it somehow insists into creating kcmlilo, which does not make sense on non x86-architecture. Here the snippet from my log: make[3]: Leaving directory `/build/kdeadmin/kdeadmin-3.0.5a/obj-powerpc-linux' make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/kdeadmin/kdeadmin-3.0.5a/obj-powerpc-linux' make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/kdeadmin/kdeadmin-3.0.5a/obj-powerpc-linux' dh_install cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_lilo.la': No such file or directory dh_install: command returned error code make: *** [install] Error 1 debuild: fatal error at line 456: dpkg-buildpackage failed! Has anybody a tip how to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance. -- Niklaus Giger Wieshoschet 6 CH-8753 Mollis Tel. ++41 55 612 20 54 (privat) Tel. ++41 55 618 64 68 (Gesch�ft)
