Re: Some guidance with library package building

[Alfonso Ruzafa <superruzafa@gmail.com>]

I tried but it seems libfoo.install and libfoo-dev.install contents doesn't have any filter effect. Despite of the contents of these files (as pattern: lib*.so*, full name: libfoo.so.0.1.0 or full path name: /usr/lib/libfoo.so.0.1.0) debuild always collected all files placed in libfoo and libfoo-dev directories to build the packages, ignoring both libfoo.install and  libfoo-dev.install.

These .install files are used by debuild? or to perform some copy operation while modifying the debian/rules Makefile?
The only way I get to work is modifying the debian/rules files by creating directories and copying files manually.

install: build
    dh_testdir
    dh_testroot
    dh_prep  
    dh_installdirs

    # At beginning al files were copied in debian/tmp
    # Add here commands to install the package into debian/tmp

#    $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp install


    # Files for libfoo-dev

    # Create the directories
    mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo-dev/usr/lib
    mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo-dev/usr/include

    
    # Copy all library files
    cp $(CURDIR)/lib/lib*.a $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo-dev/usr/lib
    cp $(CURDIR)/lib/lib*.so.* $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo-dev/usr/lib
    
    # Copy all header files
    cp $(CURDIR)/include/*.h $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo-dev/usr/include



    # Now files for libfoo

    # Create the directories
    mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo/usr/lib
    
    # Copy all library files
    cp $(CURDIR)/lib/lib*.so.* $(CURDIR)/debian/libfoo-dev/usr/lib

This is a workaround for me but I would like to use the "good" way if exists to do this instead of that "dirty" copy.

Regards.

Try putting a list of all files you need in libfoo1 in libfoo1.install,
and all files you need in libfoo-dev in libfoo-dev.install.
