When I do: $ debuild -nc --preserve-envvar PATH I see: dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument --preserve-envvar Debian dpkg-buildpackage . Copyright (C) 1996 Ian Jackson.

The manual says: The only way to prevent PATH from being reset is to specify a --preserve-envvar PATH option. (I want to use ccache and distcc to speed package building, so want to pass these environment variables: PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH MAKEFLAGS=-j17 DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/1 tutti/8 eisbock/8" CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc I have DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENV=yes in the environment as well. The full invocation is: env PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH MAKEFLAGS=-j17 \ DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/1 tutti/8 eisbock/8" \ CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc debuild -nc --preserve-envvar PATH in the xfree86 tree Without -nc it seems to work. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all slightly different. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
