Hi, I am trying to compile kde 3.0.3 on my powerpc testing box after downloading the debian source packages from:
http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody/ I installed a chroot woody partition just to be safe. In general, I followed this recipe: dpkg-source kde*.dsc cd kdeadmin-3.0.3 dpkg-buildpackage All of the packages built without any problems with the exception of kdeadmin. In that package there is a utility to configure lilo. We obviously don't need that utility packaged up. In the debian/control file the following info is shown: Package: kdeadmin Section: admin Architecture: all Depends: kcmlinuz (= ${Source-Version}), kcron (= ${Source-Version}), kdat (= ${Source-Version}), kpackage (= ${Source-Version}), ksysv (= ${Source-Version}), kuser (= ${Source-Version}), kwuftpd (= ${Source-Version}), secpolicy (= ${Source-Version}) Recommends: kcmlilo (= ${Source-Version}) Description: KDE Administration tools metapackage KDE Administration tools metapackage. Package: kcmlilo Section: admin Architecture: i386 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: lilo Replaces: lilo-config Conflicts: lilo-config Description: KDE Frontend for lilo configuration kcmlilo is a KDE based frontend to the lilo boot manager configuration. It runs out of the KDE Control Center. It certainly appears that kcmlilo will only be built for an i386 machine. However, when I did the dpkg-buildpackage I got the following errors: <snip> make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jas/kde/kdeadmin/kdeadmin-3.0.3/obj-powerpc-linux' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jas/kde/kdeadmin/kdeadmin-3.0.3/obj-powerpc-linux' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jas/kde/kdeadmin/kdeadmin-3.0.3/obj-powerpc-linux' dh_install cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_lilo.la': No such file or directorydh_install: command returned error code make: *** [install] Error 1 It appears that the install script doesn't know not to try and do things with the kcmlilo package. Would there be other files that I need to tweak to ensure that kcm_lilo is not built. John Schmidt
