What distro/version is your build host running?
Thanks for getting back to me.
I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04 beta. I am using BibleTime and
Sword both built from source just a few days ago using the latest trunk.
I am trying to re-build Sword. I took the latest source tarball from
the Crossword site - version 1.7.2. I unpacked this and built and
tested to make sure everything was OK. I extracted changelog, compat,
control, copyright and rules from the last available package on the
Debian site and put them into a Debian directory in the source
directory. Then I tried to build issuing the commands while in the
source directory. I have made no modifications to the source, or to any
of the Debian files mentioned above.
First, let me recommend steering clear of dpkg-buildpackage. For my
workflow, I use exclusively pbuilder, in order to assure that the
package builds cleanly. For example, packages and other things you have
installed on your system may inadvertently affect the build process and
you may not be aware of it. The standard for building packages for
upload into Debian is that they build in a clean "sid" chroot.
I had already followed the procedure you suggest above. The same error
- dh_auto_build: error: unable to chdir to obj-i686-linux-gnu is given.
It is for that reason that I was trying dpkg-buildpackage - to see if I
could get any more information.
I haven't tried taking the source package from Debian and building that
as Ben suggested. I will try that next and report back.
Regards, Barry.
