Re: Package with CMAKE based C library

[ki7mt <ki7mt@yahoo.com>]

Hi Werner,

I just finished working up a CMAKE package that has it's own install 
target and creates the appropriate directories, manpages etc. I used the 
basic dh_* Makefile, and did a couple overrides to account for things 
that were performed by the CMakeLists.txt file.

It really depends on what the CMAKE project does as to what your rules 
file will end up looking like. This particular project accounts for 
Debian builds, as well as Mac OSX and RPM. I used my own version of the 
control file though. Im not sure I've done this 100% correct, but It's 
building without any Lintian errors or warnings.

You can also use CDBS, but I found it just as easy to use dh_*. I'm sure 
the the Debian Mentors can get you sorted out on this. Maybe they can 
help me out as well, as I could be out in left field here :-)

Rules File -- I added the comments just so i could see it easy in the 
build log

DH_VERBOSE = 1
export DH_OPTIONS=-v

%:
    dh $@ --parallel

# CMakeLists.txt install target creates all the appropriate dir's
override_dh_install:
    @echo 
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
    @echo ' Overiding: dh_install to NULL'
    @echo 
'--------------------------------------------------------------------'

# Manpages are build by a Cmake target
override_dh_installman:
    @echo 
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
    @echo ' Overiding: dh_installman to NULL'
    @echo 
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'

# Manpages are already compressed
override_dh_compress:
    @echo 
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
    @echo ' Overiding: dh_compress to exclude *.1.gz files'
    @echo 
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
    dh_compress -X1.gz
