Re: PCP build on Ubuntu Precise (kernel 3.2) - [solved]

[Amer Ather <aather@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ken and Frank,

Thanks for all your support during my absence. I came back from vacation this week. ÂToday, I attempted to build PCP package on Ubuntu Precise. As communicated in this email thread, I followed the steps below:

- Built and installed libmicrohttpd-0.9.34 from the source and then installed all the needed packages to build PCP:

# apt-get install -y gawk pkg-config debhelper libreadline-dev chrpath python-all python-all-dev libnspr4-dev libnss3-dev libsasl2-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libavahi-common-dev libqt4-dev autotools-dev

Downloaded PCP source from fche/pmwebd branch

# git clone git://sourceware.org/git/pcpfans.git origin/fche/pmwebd

# git branch -r

# git checkout fche/pmwebd

# ./configure

# makeÂ

configure found the required version of libmicrohttpd and pcp built Âfinished successfully. I see in the debian directory all these debian control and install, postinst .... files were generated.Â

I want to know how I can convert them into deb packages and what is needed to install these packages on a fresh precise system. I might have missed something in the instructions.Â

Appreciate for all your help.

Thanks,

Amer.

Hmm not that commit it would appear ... 8^)>

But this one 172e26d351295a65fe44e0616a4ea35defb7333c in the fche/pmwebd branch adds

usr/share/pcp/jsdemos

to the file debian/pcp-webapi.dirs and that causes the problem because the pcp package is already providing that directory ...

kenj@vm00:~/src/pcpfans/debian$ dpkg -S /usr/share/pcp/jsdemos
pcp: /usr/share/pcp/jsdemos

kenj@vm00:~/src/pcpfans/debian$ dpkg -l pcp
