Dear list, Every now and then I package data reduction software for the convenience of my colleagues at the radio astronomical observatory where I work. The software is typically written by ourselves or by colleagues at similar places elsewhere in Europe and freely distributed as source tar-balls.
I have recently run into an interesting problem with one of the software packages, where I can run the individual steps to generate the package successfully, but where the use of dpkg-buildpackage fails. In other words, all of $ fakeroot debian/rules clean $ fakeroot debian/rules build $ fakeroot debian/rules binary will work (and in fact eventually produce a valid deb-file), but $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us will fail with a weird compile error somewhere in the middle of the build process. It appears as if dpkg-buildpackage after all is not simply the sequence of commands that the man-page will make us believe? How could I debug this process? It's really mostly curiosity that drives me right now, because I can build the package step by step as described above. cheers, Michael -- Michael Olberg <[email protected]> Onsala Space Observatory tel: +46-(0)31-7725507 Chalmers University of Technology fax: +46-(0)31-7725590 S-43992 Onsala, SWEDEN mobile: +46-(0)70-3319556 ----------------- This quote left blank intentionally --------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
