Re: [PD] recent Pd versions on older ubuntu studio computers
great, it works, thanks !
I followed your advice of the "dh_autoreconf" package and the adapted
debian/rules file and then I could successfully compile Pd 0.50 on both
laptops (and on a third laptop with Linux Mint 17.3).
In case someone searches info to compile and install recent versions of
Pd on older Ubuntu computers I summarized the whole procedure at the end
of this email.
Can I help in some way to spread or upload compiled Pd versions for
Ubuntu and derivatives? For sure I am not an expert in compiling
programs, I just started trying this a week ago but maybe it can help in
making Pd available for more people...
best, Hans
compiling Pd for Ubuntu 14 or 16 systems
First make sure these 5 packages are installed (commands in the terminal
like "sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev" etc.):
libjack-jackd2-dev portaudio19-dev equivs debhelper dh-autoreconf
Next execute these commands in the terminal:
1) export LANG=C
2) MAINREPO=https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/
3) PDVER=0.50.2-1
4) sudo apt-get install devscripts
5) mkdir -p build
6) cd build
7) dget -u ${MAINREPO}/p/puredata/puredata_${PDVER}.dsc
8) cd puredata-${PDVER%-*}
9)a) echo 9 > debian/compat
b) in the build/debian folder, search for the 'control' file and in this
file change "debhelper-compat (= 12)" into "debhelper (>= 9)"
c) in the build/debian folder , search for the 'rules' file and change
"dh $@" into "dh $@ --with autoreconf"
10) sudo mk-build-deps -ir
11) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
12) sudo dpkg -i ../*${PDVER}_*.deb
(This last command to install Pd)

since you are using quite old debhelper-package, you might also need to
install the "dh_autoreconf" package.
if that still doesn't work, you might also need to change the invocation
of "dh" in debian/rules to the following (indentation is rather
than s):
%:
dh $@ --with autoreconf
gmasdr

Re: [PD] recent Pd versions on older ubuntu studio computers
(This is still about compiling Pd-vanilla on two Ubuntu Studio laptops)
I solved the dependencies by installing the following libraries -before
running the script- on both Ubuntu 14 Trusty and Ubuntu 16 Xenial laptops:
sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
sudo apt-get install equivs
sudo apt-get install debhelper
Next I ran the script of IOhannes line by line
export LANG=C
MAINREPO=https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/
PDVER=0.50.2-1
sudo apt-get install devscripts
mkdir -p build
cd build
dget -u ${MAINREPO}/p/puredata/puredata_${PDVER}.dsc
cd puredata-${PDVER%-*}
echo 9 > debian/compat
I changed the line "debhelper-compat (= 12)" in debian/control into
"debhelper (>= 9)"
sudo mk-build-deps -ir
And when I ran the following command "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"
there was a problem on both laptops, "No targets specified and no
makefile found." I checked and in the folder build/puredata-0.50.2 there
is a Makefile.am file. This is the printout after the "dpkg-buildpackage
-rfakeroot" command (exactly the same for both laptops):

you might want to remove that line from debian/control and instead try
$ echo 9 > debian/compat
portaudio19-dev libjack-dev
this i don't understand.
according to https://packages.ubuntu.com/ both of these packages are
present on both xenial and bionic.
you must have the "universe" repository enabled (but afaik, this is
standard)

The universe repositories of both computers are enabled. I added a log
file of the terminal. I think something already went wrong in the
previous steps of the scripts. I hope the log files help

But it might be awkward with packaged Pd externals (you'd need to keep the old pd around and tell the new Pd where the externals are). here's an old answer, slightly polished (and hopefully not introducing to many bugs). run each line (apart from the -tags) in your terminal:
