[maemo-developers] Packaging - dpkg-shlibdeps problem

[From: Felipe Crochik]

Attila, 

Thank you but I am afraid I will nee a "little" more help.  My experience
creating deb packages go as far as getting a qt project and making into a
package and even then I don't think I am doing the "right/best" way.

 

What I DO:

My qt project has a "install" section like:

 

unix {
    isEmpty(PREFIX):PREFIX = debian
    BINDIR = $$PREFIX/$${TARGET}/usr/bin
    DATADIR = $$PREFIX/$${TARGET}/usr/share
    DEFINES += DATADIR=\"$$DATADIR\" \
        PKGDATADIR=\"$$PKGDATADIR\"
 
    INSTALLS += target \
        desktop \
        icon64
    target.path = $$BINDIR
    desktop.path = $$DATADIR/applications/hildon
    desktop.files += data/$${TARGET}.desktop
    icon64.path = $$DATADIR/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps
    icon64.files += data/64x64/$${TARGET}.png
}

 

After I am done with development on the SDK I copy my project to a linux box
to a folder where name is "packagename-version" and then on scratchbox:

1. Run qmake;

2. Edit the Makefile to remove any hard-coded absolute paths to my machine
(I can only hope there must be an easier way but I haven't found it yet)

3. run 

export DEBFULLNAME="Felipe Crochik" 
dh_make -e libircclient-qt at crochik.com -createorig -c gpl -s

4. replace the debian\control file with my modified version

5. run: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa -S

6. upload files using the extras assistant

 

Note: I repeat the same process for every new release of the application
(don't keep the previous debian folder, maybe I should.). For the
applications I packaged has worked so far ..

 

I tried the same process for the lib with these changes:

*	I modified the Makefile further (just for the "release" version of
the lib) by removing installs_ and uninstalls_ so only the actual lib
(target) would be installed on the device. 
*	after Daniel's email I changed the rules and uncommented the
"dh_makeshlibs"

 

It seems that I am missing one (or some) piece(s) of the puzzle, I tried
downloading the libqfacebook and libqfacebook-dev packages using apt-get
source but it didn't help at all. As far as I can tell the two packages are
exact the same and I can't make any sense of why the "object files" are
included (*.o, .) and/or why on both you have a libqfacebook-dev folder
inside the debian.

 

I will appreciate any help you (or anybody else) can give me. 

 

Thanks

Felipe
