Re: building packages the debian way
Hi Ervin,
If I do a generic build/install, will that coexist with the current
broken hamlib? Many of the ham packages depend on hamlib and
hamlib-utils. I don't think I can remove just hamlib* without then
removing those ham programs. Then, if the system doesn't know I've
built a generic build, then adding the packages back would then pull in
the broken hamlibs*.
How should I proceed?
