Hello,
I am porting an application to Maemo 4.0 (Xournal)
I have successfully modified it to compile and run in my scratchbox
(CHINOOK_X86 target)
(I haven't been kind and "make install"ed what was needed instead of
packaging stuff the proper way.
Anyway I wanted to do it clean for the ARMEL target. So I started packaging
the dependencies first.
For example gail-1.20.1.
I've created the gail-1.20.1 with the clean sources in it and (from the dir)
I've ran:
dh_make -e [EMAIL PROTECTED] -f ../packages/gail-1.20.1.tar.gz
and told it that gail is a library.
dh_make complained about a BROKEN package name "gailBROKEN" thus I went to
debian/control
and used the package name "gail". I didn't change anythng else a part from
the descriptions
I've removed useless files from the debian dir as stated in the Creating
Debian Package HOWTO.
Finally I've ran the command:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
to build the deb files.
Here comes the issue. It created the debian/tmp dir with the binaries in it
(everything compiled just fine),
but it did not packaged them into the .deb file, just the debian/{control,
changelog, copyright... } files...
(as shown by : dpkg -c ../gail_1.20.1-1_armel.deb)
What I am doing wrong ?
I've been struggling with the issue since this morning...
PS: at the end it also complained about unkown substitution variables:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
