Re: help - deb-make/build
debmake doesn't make the build script it is include in the debmake
package. Or was. I forget exactly when but somewhere down the line build
and other scripts were moved into their own package called devscripts.
(The current version of "Creating a package with debmake" mentions you
need devscripts btw.) Installing this package will fix most of your
problems I should think.
I wonder if your problem with the #ifdef might be due to the change from
libc5 to libc6 in hamm? libc6 changed some things drastically so what
where the right includes may now be the wrong ones.
