ah, trunk/debian/build/CMakeCache.txt:

//Path to a file.
GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib/grass/include

//Path to GRASS base directory
GRASS_PREFIX:PATH=usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65

(that base dir is supposed to be the installed ($GISBASE) dir not the source code base I guess)

with debian/rules changed to:

-       -D GRASS_PREFIX=/usr/lib/grass64 \\
+       -D GRASS_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \\
+       -D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/include \\

and also to build for GRASS 6.5 I needed to make this symlink:

cd trunk/src/plugins/grass/
ln -s modules-6.4 modules-6.5

after fixing all that, I now get this error:

this seems to fix the 'class QStringList' has no member named 'length' error:

ok, I ran 'debuild clean' and then 'svn status' to identify and clean out a few files in debian/ that it missed', and reran 'debuild binary'. This time it failed a little differently:

dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp

Is this still valid? Does it make sense to support Lenny, as our minimum requirements are getting higher, and release of Squeeze approaches?

Replying to [comment:5 pcav]:

Is this still valid?

Yes, as of latest d5bbb37b (SVN r13427).

Today I didn't get as far as the linking-

I edited debian/rules to turn off spatialite, and CMakeLists.txt too just in case.

But it still dies:

$ cp debian/control.lenny debian/control
$ debuild binary

missing #ifdef in the .cpp or CMakeLists.txt rule?
(fwiw I'm not a cmake expert)

Does it make sense to support Lenny,

Yes please, it does. For work reasons etc. not everyone has the luxury (or desire) to change OSs on the shared machines they need to work on, to the latest-greatest testing release.. especially when it is just for one app.

I would accept using an older version on an older OS, but so far the most modern version I can build for Lenny is 1.2.0. :-/

Hamish

Did you add a changelog entry stating that you are building for lenny? otherwise it falls back to sid.

Replying to [comment:7 jef]:

Did you add a changelog entry stating that you are building for
lenny? otherwise it falls back to sid.

I hadn't, but I had edited the rules file to set to FALSE even in that sid+= logic. (everywhere grep could find it being set to TRUE)

Now changed to:

--- debian/changelog    (revision 13427)
+++ debian/changelog    (working copy)
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@

Hamish

Replying to [comment:8 hamish]:

but it still ignores WITH_SPATIALITE=FALSE & dies in the same place.

The default is to build with internal spatialite when not building for sid. Anything wrong with that? Otherwise you also need to tweak the .install files and apply the hardy patches to get the grass plugin compiled with GRASS 6.2.

Still spatialite should be optional: fixed in e7ded48b (SVN r13430).

Replying to [comment:4 hamish]:

{QGIS_ABI} should be replaced by 1.5.0 by rules, but for some reason is not.

You're supposed to add a changelog entry with distribution lenny (not stable) and the rules will rebuild control from control.lenny replacing {QGIS_ABI} (and {GRASS_ABI}).

great, I get past that .cpp file now, thanks.

"supposed"? as in specific to the qgis build scripts, right? for previous backports of other software I've used the unstable/ testing/ stable/ old-stable names without problem.

Right. The distribution name in the changelog determines which template files are used to build the package...

ok, done that. Now it gets past the main build but I get a weird linking error I've not seen before. Here's the end of it:

That's not a link error. dh_makeshlibs complains about missing symbols in the shared library. But that's just due to the different Qt version in lenny. I dropped that altogether in 8d892722 (SVN r13439).
