Re: Binary error while packaging

Ah. The -dev packages are meant to include only source code, so they are architecture-independent (= they work on, say, i386 and amd64 computers).

Your binaries need to go into a separate, architecture-dependent, package. See e.g. https://sources.debian.org/src/codesearch/0.0~hg20120502-3/debian/control/ for a package which ships both binaries and a -dev package.

Hope that helps,

Hey.

I was trying to build a package and was running "lintian" on it. And got the following error: https://paste.debian.net/1057146/

What am I supposed to do regarding the "binary-error"?

Thanks,
Utkarsh Gupta
