If you're using short form dh, this would be one way to do it: override_dh_auto_configure: install -d debian/build-gtk2 cd debian/build-gtk2 ../../configure --with-gtk2 install -d debian/build-gtk3 cd debian/build-gtk3 ../../configure --with-gtk3 override_dh_auto_build: cd debian/build-gtk2 make cd debian/build-gtk3 make override_dh_auto_install: cd debian/build-gtk2 make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/pkg-gtk2 cd debian/build-gtk3 make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/pkg-gtk3 And from this point on, it's just standard dh. If it's long-form debhelper, then instead of the overrides, do something similar in your configure, build and install targets. There might be nicer ways to do the same thing, but this is already fairly straightforward, in my opinion. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'd probably provide both. A rules file doing two configure make make install runs isn't all that complicated. The -gtk2 version can always be dropped later, either when upstream stops supporting it, or when the number of users drops to a level not worth the effort of maintaining two versions. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Using dh to build 1 binary package with different configure options
A new release of roxterm is in the pipeline. I've made a lot of changes, mostly to replace libglade with GtkBuilder and to get it to work with gtk3. I'd ideally like to call it version 2 and have the clear distinction that version 1 was for gtk2 and version 2 is for gtk3. However, I suspect a lot of users would not be happy with switching to gtk3 yet, especially users of xfwm4 and kwin (and others?) due to bug #632403. gtk2/3 can be selected as a configure option. I don't mind continuing to support both for now, but I'd like to look to the future and make sure the gtk3-specific code is well tested as early as possible while still supporting people who want to stick with gtk2. Therefore I'd like to create two packages from the same source, eg roxterm (gtk2) and roxterm2 (gtk3). Or would it be better to rename both of them and make roxterm a meta package which depends on one or the other? They'd share a number of files, eg the .ui (formerly .glade) file, graphics and documentation; should I make a roxterm-data/roxterm-common package for these? Does all this sound like a good idea, or too complex to be worth it? I'm pretty sure I once read something about how to get a single source package to build multiple binary packages from the same source with different configure options. Unfortunately I can't remember what I read and it didn't apply to dh anyway. Can anyone recommend a guide to doing this with dh? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
