Hi all, Just need a bit of confirmation about what I'm doing, but first a little background. I need to compile the following packages with some custom options: 1. PHP4 with MS-SQL options (Ugh, ack, cough! Don't ask) 2. Samba with non-standard winbind options 3. Squid with specific winbind authenticators
Yep - I'm building a box to transparently insert into a MS environment. Up until now the standard Debian (binary) packages have met my needs but now I need to compile with a bunch of options. I could do the normal *nix routine and get the tar balls, "configure --with-opts; make install". BUT, I want to have a .deb at the end so I can keep using Debian's wonderful packaging system :-) Here's the way I read the man pages (as root): apt-get source <package> cd <package> ./configure --with-all-the-opts-i-need dpkg-buildpackage dpkg -i <package>.deb Or is there a better way?? Thanks in advance folks :) --James __________________________________ A random quote of nothing: For large values of one, one equals two, for small values of two. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
