Problems building kdebase from source using Potato
I haven't built any debian packages from source before so this may be
something I'm doing wrong, but I've checked the Debian FAQ on buidling from
source and I've built the test package "hello" successfully so I think I've
got the basics all in place.
Now I want to build kdebase from source as I want to get a version with the
Kamera patch applied (see http://www.thekompany.com/projects/gphoto/ for
details). I used apt to get the source files and unpack them. But I couldn't
build the binary deb from this cleanly as after the long compile phase I got
the following errors:
dh_movefiles -pkonqueror
find: usr/bin/nspluginviewer: No such file or directory
find: usr/bin/nspluginscan: No such file or directory
find: usr/bin/nspluginviewer: No such file or directory
find: usr/bin/nspluginscan: No such file or directory
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
I'm running Potato with the latest updates applied.
I edited debian/konqueror.files and removed the four lines for nspluginviewer
and nspluginscan and their associated info files. Then I tried to build the
binary deb with:
debian/rules binary
This seemed to work but I ended up with twelve deb files not the one I was
expecting:
kdebase-dev_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
kdebase-doc_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb
kdebase-libs_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
kdebase_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
kdewallpapers_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb
kdm_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
konqueror_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
konsole_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
libkonq-dev_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
libkonq3_2.0.1-0.potato5_i386.deb
task-kde-devel_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb
task-kde_2.0.1-0.potato5_all.deb
So although I only downloaded one source package I seem to have got twelve
binaries. I wasn't expecting this. What is happening here?
Am I going about things in the right way? The Kamera build instructions just
say to apply over clean kdebase source and ./configure && make && make
install but this doesn't seem right for debian packaged source.
Thanks
