[campcaster-dev] debian package script
  • The debian package build script is terribly error prone on the stable
    Etch and a SVN trunk checkout. I've been hacking it all day and I'm
    not making much progress. The most useful thing I can say at the
    moment is that bin/createDebianPackage.sh defines variables that'll
    fail each time. The fastest solution was to read through the script
    and type the commands out in a shell one by one.

    After building the source package and running dpkg-buildpackage the
    compile fails on src/tools/cppunit/cppunit-1.10.2/tmp/cppunit-1.10.2/
    src/cppunit when it asks to write a file to /opt/campcaster/lib
    This is unexpected since I'm only building, not installing and
    everything is done within a clean development source tree.

    I hope to have some better solutions later today.

  • Hi Lee,

    I was able to build just fine from a clean Etch install; the Etch packages
    are up on the code.campware.org server at this address:

    deb http://code.campware.org/debian etch main

    The packages have also installed fine on other machines, so they seemed to
    work. Then again, maybe I was just lucky; regardless, thanks for dusting
    off the package install scripts! They can always use some attention.
