OK. I tried to install xine last night. I have some rather complex dependancy problems. I'm using all ubunuto apt-get servers and then your apt-get server. Basically, the packages on your site depend on versions of software that ubuntu doesn't see to supply. [...]
Hmm. My 'stable' builds are for too old a distribution, and it looks very much like my 'testing' builds are for one which is just that little bit too new...
Soo. Yes. I'm guessing there are some other "bleeding edge" software repositories that I need to enable as well??
No. Your problem is that you're (presumably) using edgy whereas I build for sarge (too old), etch (slightly too new) and unstable (also slightly too new), and I currently have no plans to build for Ubuntu releases.
Given this, I think that it's best that you add a deb-src line for my archive, run 'aptitude update', install devscripts and build-essential, then:
$ apt-get source foo $ cd foo-* $ sudo apt-get build-dep foo $ debuild binary
$ sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
Be careful with that last line - you'll probably want to list specific package files. And dependency errors shouldn't be a problem either since you can use aptitude to install the missing packages and mark them as automatically installed.
I finally got around to trying this. Stuck at "debuild". I'm unable to find it on my system and unable to find it as a refference in aptitude (hitting S in the GUI).
Trying debian-builder as the closest match ;-)
Yep, that was it!
OK, err, well.. It was one part of it. Now, I can't run that script... I've tried sudo and no sudo and I get different errors in either method.
mick@freevo:/build/newxine/xine-lib-vdr-1.1.3$ debuild binary /usr/bin/fakeroot: 152: debian/rules: Permission denied debuild: fatal error at line 1206: couldn't exec fakeroot debian/rules: mick@freevo:/build/newxine/xine-lib-vdr-1.1.3$ sudo debuild binary Can't exec "debian/rules": Permission denied at /usr/bin/debuild line 1201. debuild: fatal error at line 1200: couldn't exec debian/rules: Permission denied
Line 152 appears to be a simple "echo" command to blit the scripts version to the screen. So something about my permissions must be very broken. I've tried su as well and I get the same error as sudo.
What the? This newbie is dumbfounded..

To put simply, the fs I was playing with was mounted with 'noexec'.
