Re: Compiling PgAdmin 1.8.x on Debian Lenny AMD64 ?

["Raphaël Enrici" <raphael(at)pgadmin(dot)org>]

Hi Joost,

take an example from deb sources packages already published.

Download these three files:

ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0-1~pgaoetch1.diff.gz

ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0-1~pgaoetch1.dsc

ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0.orig.tar.gz

then dpkg-source -x *.dsc

copy the pgadmin3-1.8.0/debian to the upstream source directory (it should be in a directory untitled pgadmin3-1.8.2)

then cd pgadmin3-1.8.2

type dch -i to add a changelog entry and modify the version number to something like 1.8.2-xxx

then dpkg-buildpackage  -rfakeroot

it should build quite straightforward.

I know I'm late in releasing the package of 1.8.2 and I'm sorry about that.

Regards,

Raphaël

Hi,

I tried to compile the source distribution on Debian Lenny AMD64 to
create a Debian package, which failed.

Running "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" in the root of the source
distribution gave the following error:

"dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status 1"


Running "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" in the pkg directory  of the
source distribution errors that suggested that there should be a
wxWidgets 2.7.0-1 source (?) installation somewhere in the PgAdmin
source tree, which is not the case.

I have a (compiled) version of wxWidgets 2.8.0 installed from a
repository maintained by the wxWidgets people (http://apt.wxwidgets.org/
etch-wx main).

Is it possible to build a .deb file from the source distribution, using
my own version of wxWidgets or do I have to fall back to "./configure ;
make make install"?

TIA
