Re: pbuilder --build --binary-arch invokes 'build' target
Hi,
thanks for valuable comments, now it makes more sense to me. The problem was
that my 'build:' target is dependent on build-arch and build-indep targets (as
generated by dh_make when I started with the project). When pbuilder invokes
'debian/rules build', both these targets are called.
I looked at text4ht's debian/rules and there you simply commented out the
'build:' target. I tried the same thing and it works nicely.
(My original debian/rules, without this modification, is here:
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/eprover.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;hb=master )
Now I'm just concerned about (violating) Debian Policy (Sect. 4.9). It states
that the 'build:' target is mandatory. Should I leave 'build:' commented out,
possibly violating the policy, or perhaps include it just empty, removing its
dependencies on 'build-arch' and 'build-indep', so that the policy is
satisfied?
With best regards,
Petr
