I am new to packaging (just built my first Ubuntu packages this week) and have some questions about libraries.
1. I'm trying to package a library called plytapus. I told dh_make it's a library, edited files in debian, and ran debuild. Here's the tail of the output: make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/obj-x86_64- linux-gnu' Install the project... /usr/bin/cmake -P cmake_install.cmake -- Install configuration: "None" -- Installing: /home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/debian/tmp/usr/lib/ libplytapus.so.0.6.0 -- Installing: /home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/debian/tmp/usr/lib/ libplytapus.so -- Installing: /home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/debian/tmp/usr/lib/ libplytapus.a -- Installing: /home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/debian/tmp/usr/include/ plytapus.h -- Installing: /home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/debian/tmp/usr/include/ plytapus/config.h -- Installing: /home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/debian/tmp/usr/include/ plytapus/textio.h make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/phma/package/plytapus-0.6.0/obj-x86_64- linux-gnu' dh_install dh_install: Cannot find (any matches for) "usr/lib/*/lib*.so" (tried in ., debian/tmp) dh_install: plytapus-dev missing files: usr/lib/*/lib*.so dh_install: Cannot find (any matches for) "usr/lib/*/pkgconfig/*" (tried in ., debian/tmp) dh_install: plytapus-dev missing files: usr/lib/*/pkgconfig/* dh_install: Cannot find (any matches for) "usr/share/pkgconfig/*" (tried in ., debian/tmp) dh_install: plytapus-dev missing files: usr/share/pkgconfig/* dh_install: missing files, aborting make: *** [debian/rules:18: binary] Error 255 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1182: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui failed Why didn't it find libplytapus.so? What's supposed to be in pkgconfig? 2. Another program I'd like to package is Quadlods. This can be used two ways: as a library by C++ programs, and as an application, which can be run by apps in any language by talking on a socket. Should I tell dh_make it's a library or an application?
