Re: Repo for debian

[Andreas Fink]

ok found the solution to set

export GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM

before making gnustep-make, base and gui

now these 3 install in the correct location

However gnustep-back puzzles me completely:

./configure

configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files:

it says it can not find a missing file but it doesn't list any.

So i'm completely lost on how to fix that one.

GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES is set to /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles

the configure script says

# Search for a directory containing all of the required auxiliary files,

# $ac_aux_files, from the $PATH-style list $ac_aux_dir_candidates.

# If we don't find one directory that contains all the files we need,

# we report the set of missing files from the *first* directory in

# $ac_aux_dir_candidates and give up.

if I force this section to  be valid, I noticed that the file config.sub is missing.

without it configure wont work

so it seems the repo on git is no longer complete...

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.
