Ok, so I have created the git repository for packaging OpenSurgSim: git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/opensurgsim.git
And put up an initial commit that includes some of the basic files in the debian directory. Please let me know how this looks so far. I did get pbuilder setup for sid, and got it to build and run the unit tests successfully, but I get an error: dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libyaml-cpp.so.0.5 needed by debian/libopensurgsim/usr/lib/libMultiAxisDev ice.so (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64'; RPATH: '') and some warnings: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: can't extract name and version from library name 'libSurgSimDataStructures.so' dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: can't extract name and version from library name 'libSurgSimFramework.so' dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: can't extract name and version from library name 'libSurgSimInput.so' dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: can't extract name and version from library name 'libSurgSimDeviceFilters.so' The error, I am pretty sure is a bug upstream, where the libyaml-cpp isn't being "installed" by cmake, I will look into this. But the warnings, I have some questions about. I see that libraries are usually appended with the version number, is this something I need to do upstream or in the packaging? Also, it says it can't extract the name of the library, is this because OpenSurgSim is not in the name? Some of the libraries being built do not include "SurgSim", ie libMultiAxisDevice.so. Is it a good idea to have all the libraries prepended with the same thing, ie libSurgSim? On an unrelated note, OpenSurgSim is dependent on yaml-cpp, unfortunately we have patched yaml-cpp, so we can't use the version in Debian (I have been trying to get our changes upstream, but have been unsuccessful so far). To handle this, we use CMake's ExternalProject_Add to download our patched source and build it during the OpenSurgSim build. This brings up a couple issues, I recall that the debian builds should not assume there is a network connection, if this is the case, any ideas how to handle this? Also, I assume this library should be renamed to something that doesn't clash with yaml-cpp in the debian repositories. How about libSurgSimyaml-cpp? -Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
