Re: Repo for debian

[Andreas Fink]

it was done like this

  $ ./configure 

--disable-importing-config-file  \

--with-layout=debian  \

--prefix=/usr   \

--enable-native-objc-exceptions  \

--enable-objc-arc   \

--enable-install-ld-so-conf  \

--with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu \

--with-runtime-abi=gnustep-2.0 \

--with-objc-lib-flag=-l:libobjc.so.4.6

whe doing gnustep base, it goes to /usr/local/lib

when configuring gnustep base you need to pass --prefix=/usr   as well to get it to install it in the right location

this trick doesnt work for gui however

Hello all

I'm working on setting up a debian repository wtih a up to date build of debian12 and ubuntu22 for amd64 and arm64 architectures.

My current repo installs all on /usr/local/ but for proper system wide use /usr should be used as prefix instead.

so I use

export PREFIX="/usr"

cmake ... -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${PREFIX} ...

and 

./configure --prefix=${PREFIX}

Is this for gnustep-base or gnustep-make?

Only configuring gnustep-make correctly is enough:

dh_auto_configure -- \

   --with-layout=debian \

--enable-native-objc-exceptions \

  --enable-objc-arc \

--prefix=/usr \

  --with-runtime-abi=gnustep-2.0 \

  --with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu \

  LDFLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld -L/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)" SHELLPROG=/bin/bash GNUMAKE=make

https://github.com/gnustep/tools-packaging is our repo for aggregating the new GNUstep 2.0 Debian package configuration files and build scripts.

This is currently only non-gui, but I am open to contributions :)

This draft (https://github.com/gnustep/tools-packaging/pull/4) adds automatic building in phases using the isolated pbuilder build tool.
