Compiled some packages
I tried compiling some Debian packages. Here are the results.
aalib_1.2-14
============
The code compiles and works fine, but the Debian scripts fail because
of unexpected shared library names.
The first time I tried this, it stopped at dh_movefiles because it
didn't find libaa.so.1.0.3. Turned out the package was using
libtool-1.0 which sets "version_type=sunos" on GNU. So I upgraded the
package to libtool-1.2d with:
libtoolize -f
aclocal
That helped a bit, but now it couldn't find usr/lib/libaa.so.1.
There was usr/lib/libaa.so but debian/aalib1.files didn't want that.
In ltconfig, library_names_spec is still different between linux-gnu*
and gnu*. Is this intentional?
After I circumvented this manually, there were no other problems, and
I could install the binary packages.
The resulting library didn't support X because the configure
script had noticed that Xlib was missing.
pinfo_0.5.3-1
=============
No problems. Works in black and white, like Lynx.
libpng_1.0.2b-0.1
=================
Requires zlib1g-dev which I haven't downloaded yet.
netpbm-free_1:19940301.2-10
===========================
Requires xmkmf which is apparently in some X package.
pointerize_0.2
==============
No problems, except it insists of using mmap() at runtime and doesn't
have proper error messages.
bzip2_0.9.0c-2
==============
No problems. It passed the tests in the Makefile.
