Building on newer debian/ubuntu versions

[amoghe]

I'm trying to build this on 16.04, and improvising as I go along, but I'm unable to get it to build successfully. Has anyone succeeded in building this on either 12.04/14.04/16.04?

I have builds for 12.04 and 14.04 at:

https://launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/ubuntu/extra/+packages

I'm using 16.04 and my build from 14.04 still works fine, which is the only reason I haven't tried to build it on 16.04.

Thanks for the link to the prepackaged deb files.

I'd still like to build this locally, and here is what I did (following instructions from the wiki):

1. install build-essential, python, python-dev, python-protobuf, python-setuptools
2. git clone the ddar repo
3. make / debuild ??? <-- this is where I'm unsure what to do. make doesn't seem to like the Makefile.prep?

How do I proceed in order to build the deb pkg?

On Debian or Ubuntu, just run "debuild" after installing the build dependencies. You may want "debuild -uc -us" to avoid signing the packages locally.

Pull requests to fix the documentation are welcome.
