I can make it but someone else will have to test it and correct me. It will be much easier if someone who uses Debian/Ubuntu will make it himself. I can later check the modifications and verify sth what I know should be changed. > If I do sudo apt-get install debmake I get: > > Package debmake is not available, but is referred to by another package. > This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or > is only available from another source > E: Package debmake has no installation candidate > What's wrong? As Gerald said debmake is deprecated. Try to remove it from dependences list in make_deb.sh and check if you can create Harbour .DEB package. In fact we are using debhelper and debmake dependence looks like some old reference left by mistake. > In the same env I use make_gnu.sh without any problem. But it does not create system friendly package(s) with all information about necessary dependences. It also cannot easy check all existing system libraries and enable all possible extension. We do not use autoconf. We should create build script for automatic creation Harbour .DEB package(s) which can be executed by any Debian/Ubuntu user and I hope it will be adopted by above distributions in the future. But we need someone who well knows the distribution policy used by them. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
