Hello Jean-Francois, Which version of the daemon were you trying to compile? I have successfully compiled the 3.2 alphas and betas on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which is quite similar to Debian but I was doing debugging work so I did not try creating a deb package. I can try making a deb today to see if I get the same error or not. At the same time I am curious what result you get if you if you try compiling it using ./configure --prefix=/jean/can/use/a/tmp/dir, make, make install. I want to try to narrow down where the failure is occurring. Regards, Matthew Hall. On Tuesday, October 26, 2010 03:05:25 Jean F. Mousinho wrote:
Hello,
I'm trying to manually build the package in Debian, but I'm getting an error when compiling:
... dh_shlibdeps: Compatibility levels before 4 are deprecated. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: couldn't find library libdbparser.so needed by debian/syslog-ng/bin/pdbtool (its RPATH is '//lib://lib/syslog-ng'). Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file. To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: no dependency information found for lib/.libs/libsyslog-ng.so.0 (used by debian/syslog-ng/bin/pdbtool). dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512 make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 ...
I've noticed that libdbparser.so is actually located in ./modules/dbparser/.libs/libdbparser.so but the problem seems to be that dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find dependency information for libsyslog-ng?
I don't know much how automake+dpkg-buildpackage work to know how to solve this, even tho I've tried to google for it.
Thanks for your time.
