dpkg-buildpackage problem...

wrongman · 11-02-2006, 06:15 PM

I'm trying to compile an application... running the usual ./configure; make it works... but i want to create a packet... so i tried to use dpkg-buildpackage and i receive this error:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libwxgtk2.5-dev libcurl2-dev automake1.7 | automake1.8 | automake1.9

but i actually have installed libwxgtk2.6-dev and libcurl3-dev...so... how can i go on with these?

You can use the checkinstall package to build a .deb package that you can install. Once installed use a command line like this as normal user instead of becoming root for the make install part su -c 'checkintall -D --pkgname=Name --pkgversion=1.2.3 --maintainer="Your Name your@email.address"'.

Edit: If you do not want the package automatically installed edit the /etc/checkinstallrc change to INSTALL=0 at the bottom of the file.
