[maemo-developers] Packaging - dpkg-shlibdeps problem

[From: Felipe Crochik]

I did it! It is ALMOST obvious after you get it done the first time but it
took me some failed attempts and help from you guys to figure out the steps!
Thank you!

 

In order to help me remember the steps and maybe help some other person
trying to package a lib I put together a small "log" of the steps. With some
work could even become a wiki (not sure if there are others out there but I
couldn't find):

Any comments are welcome

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.

 



Including *.o files or that dir sounds like missing or improper cleanup
(=packaging error), but let's not digress, the bottom line is this: IINM you
don't need to touch anything in the .pro file, you just need to 

a) specify both dev and binary packages in the debian/control file, one
after the other.
b) have a debian/libirccclient-qt-dev.install file that says something like
'usr/include' (do NOT include the libs !)
c) have a debian/libirccclient-qt.install file that says something like
'usr/lib/libircwhatever.so'

Considering you should already have all files in debian/tmp that's it,
everything else is taken care of by debhelper (dh_install copies over the
files specified in install from debian/tmp into per-package directories
which are then later put into separate debs by dh_builddeb)
