Cannot build .deb on Ubuntu Feisty AMD64

Status: closed (fixed)

Reported by: jbowtie@pongacomputing.net Assigned to: oystein@gisnas.net
Priority: minor Milestone: Modest 1.0
Component: libtinymail Version: 1.0
Keywords: Cc: oystein@gisnas.net, dirk-jan.binnema@nokia.com

For reasons unclear to me the libxul-dev package cannot be installed.

However, I can get a successful build by substituting firefox-dev in the control file. You will want to test this on Debian and earlier versions of Ubuntu.

We'll first have to find a way to make packages targetted at more-than-one Debian distribution. For example Maemo and Debian and Ubuntu.

I have added the person who created the current Debian package set in CC.

  • cc changed from oystein@gisnas.net to oystein@gisnas.net, dirk-jan.binnema@nokia.com.
  • owner changed from somebody to oystein@gisnas.net.

Do we have a resolution for this one?

Yes, this has been fixed since Jan 30, most probably. Ideally, someone should test this on AMD64.

When the build is OK, merge changes made to debian/control.debian-unstable into debian/control.ubuntu-feisty. Changes include split into one package per library.

one additional problem I found (on AMD64) is that packages are not built with -fPIC by default; non -fPIC libs don't work on AMD64.

That problem is easily fixable. Either add CFLAGS += -fPIC to rules.debian, or create a rules.ubunutu-amd64 if it should be enabled only for AMD64.

Ping. Is this problem fixed?

If no answer I'm going to close this one in one week from now.

08/05/07 19:51:48: Modified by oystein@gisnas.net

I added CFLAGS += -fPIC to rules.debian and commited. Can someone with AMD64 build and verify the fix?

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.
