Re: Problem in building c2hs package
Hi. I'm not a DM but have a few points.
The tar error will likely fix itself when dpkg-buildpackage completes.
However I'm not sure why you ran dpkg-source -b to build from an archive
when you never finished the build - and when dpkg-buildpackage is supposed
to do the task of building. tar's "File exists" I think means the file is
already in the archive (filename pumped to tar twice).
You ran dpkg-buildpackage -r to do a complete rebuild. But it failed on
the first make dependancy: clean. Nothing else happened - no build.
The error on 71 is may be a sytax error that needs to be fixed. Whenever
asking for advice it's good to attatch related files. In this case,
debain/rules, mk/config.mk, and maybe Makefile.
I don't think debain/rules or dpkg-buildpackage employs mk/common.mk and I
wonder why it is called during make clean. Is it a makefile? Or a
depends list (some make files use various techniques to track the need to
build by creating files used for dependancy checking)?
You did ls in debian/ directory. dh_make was apparently used to debanize
the source the first time.
I might start over. Insure it all builds / rebuilds before debanizing.
dh_make it. Then comment out things in debian/rules until at least make
clean works from the Makefile and from debian's helper tools.
Have Fun!
