http://askubuntu.com – I'm trying to build a package on Launchpad's Debian build system for PPAs but I'm having some issues with a certain package. The package I'm trying to build (zorin-xwinwrap) contains a source C file which I'm trying to get to compile and build on Launchpad's server so that it would install and work on 32 bit (i386) and 64 bit (amd64) systems. Unfortunately I keep on getting an Error code 2 with the debian/rules file and I have no clue how to fix this issue. The following link is the source package of the software I'm trying to add to my PPA: http://goo.gl/GjZvd The following link is the buil (HowTos)

Stories similar to Launchpad fails to build a package for my PPA

I'm making Ubuntu packages from source code of a geology program. I can make debs on my pc and also Launchpad is able to make binary packages for 32-bit OS.

I noticed an strange behavior of Launchpad. It makes both development (libfoo-dev) and shared library (libfoo) from uploaded source code for i386 though makes only binary package for amd64 from same code.

I am trying to build an application I am making into launchpad for my PPA, and, while it builds the DEB just fine locally, it fails in launchpad.

I'm uploading my source package to launchpad. Source package is accepted and build succeed, though launchpad do not upload my package into repository with this error:

INFO Failed to parse changes file '/srv/launchpad.net/builddmaster/.../ubuntu/libcutl_1.7.1-1_amd64.changes': Unable to find mandatory field 'Files' in the changes file.

Ok, here is one thing that puzzles me... I'm trying to build a package from source, and then use checkinstall to generate a .deb package.

Debian / Ubuntu / Debian 41 weeks 5 days ago

I was doing a search to find the default package for Debian package - 'awk' or 'gawk'And I came across:https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/dpkg-awk/Am I missing something here?  Is Debian now using 'Ubuntu' launchpad?Bottom line on that page:© 2004-2012 Canonical Ltd.

I've created simple debian package which I am building using bzr bd.

the problem is my colleague is unable to build this package using this method, without changing changelog's email to her own, so the gpg signing passed.

We are working together on the same project and want to have possibility to build this package for each own.

Any idea?

I'm currently running Debian testing and would like to install a package only available in the stable repositories.

When I want to compile something from source in Ubuntu/Debian, I usually get build-dependencies by running "sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGE_NAME" in the terminal.

They are (usually) useless once the compilation job is done.

So, how do I remove all build-dependencies for a particular package?

Need help in making DEB package 3 years 23 weeks ago

I have a problem with my program and making DEB package. I know this is not the place, but Ubuntu guys won't help me, asked also in Mint forums, no reply at all (at least not putting mud on my face, as on ubuntu forums).

I managed to make control and rules file OK so dpkg --build makes package OK.
