4 to make binary .deb packages, do the following:
5 cd <the directory of this file>
7 fakeroot debian/rules binary
10 here you have the .deb files.
11 you may first check them for standards compliance: lintian *.deb
12 root may install the packages to your system: dpkg -i *.deb
16 this package should work with any version of geos (provided geos is been made
17 in the same way), and debian (made on sarge, but tested to work under woody
18 without change. package versioning is been done automatically from geos.
20 this debian package has been made under sarge, and then backported to Woody.
21 to avoid duplication, woody shortcomings have been bypassed only:
23 dh_install was not working for woody with wildcards, so i have added
24 dh_movefiles, which works on definition files in the format used later by
25 dh_install. hence the symlinks pkg.files (for dh_movefiles) -> pkg.install
28 the woody binaries are bigger then those on sarge, due to lesser stripping
29 options in woody dh_strip.
31 under woody, doxygen is creating less html documentation files. if problematic,
32 woody users may use a libgeos-doc package made for any other architecture and
35 during my first tests on woody, dh_shlibdeps has sometimes failed, but this
36 phenomenum has diisappeared before i had a chance to further investigate. this
37 might be due to woody upgrade.
