Re: Some guidance with library package building

[Alfonso Ruzafa <superruzafa@gmail.com>]

Hi, I continue with some doubts :(

Actually I'm building 3 packages: libfoo for the library, libfoo-dev for the development files and a third foo package for the command line tool to deal with the library.

I added this info to debian/control

Package: foo
Priority: extra
Maintainer: Alfonso Ruzafa <superruzafa@gmail.com>
Section: apps
Depends: libfoo (>= ${binary:Version})

Then, when I run debuild I get this message error:

dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: couldn't find library libfoo.so.0 needed by debian/foo/usr/bin/foo (its RPATH is '').
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1329:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed

I export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ${PWD}/debian/libfoo/usr/lib and run debuild. I got the same message error.

Then I modify the debian/shlibs.local file:

foo 0 libfoo (>= 0.0.0-0)

And I get the same result.

After reading Chapter 8 of Debian Library Packaging Guide and the Chapter 8.6.5 of Debian policy I still have doubts.

Regards.

Whoops, yeah. I was mistaking dh_installdirs for dh_install.
