Ubuntu Debian 0.9.13 no build in autotools and glade

[andykimpe]

Ubuntu and Debian require build with gtk3 with autoconf for build 0.9.13

you build not work please solve

gtk3 version uses meson.
gtk2 version uses autotools.
pick your poison

[andykimpe]

except that since you put the source code in a subfolder

can't use meson in deb packaging

for packaging in meson the source code must be at the root of the project and not in subfolders

the meson plugin for deb packaging does not allow you to work in subfolders

otherwise either said it is wrong or put all the source code back to the root as with 0.9.11

either make it work with autotools

it is because of this that on the official ubuntu and debian repositories

the version available and always 0.9.11 and not 0.9.13

because it is impossible to compile packages with the code as you currently provide it

latest version available for debian 0.9.11

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=desmume

for ubuntu 0.9.11

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=desmume

As long as this problem is not resolved it will be impossible to have packages in versions more recent than 0.9.11 on this distribution.

we will not move the source files.
edit your build scripts to mv the sources before attempting to build them.

read debhelper full man

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/debhelper.7.html

BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS         [top](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/debhelper.7.html#top_of_page)

       The following command line options are supported by all of the
       dh_auto_* debhelper programs. These programs support a variety of
       build systems, and normally heuristically determine which to use,
       and how to use them.  You can use these command line options to
       override the default behavior.  Typically these are passed to
       [dh(1)](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/dh.1.html), which then passes them to all the dh_auto_* programs.

       -Sbuildsystem, --buildsystem=buildsystem
           Force use of the specified buildsystem, instead of trying to
           auto-select one which might be applicable for the package.

           Pass none as buildsystem to disable auto-selection.

       -Ddirectory, --sourcedir=directory, --sourcedirectory=directory
           Assume that the original package source tree is at the
           specified directory rather than the top level directory of
           the Debian source package tree.

           Warning: The --sourcedir variant matches a similar named
           option in dh_install and dh_missing (etc.) for historical
           reasons.  While they have a similar name, they have very
           distinct purposes and in some cases it can cause errors when
           this variant is passed to dh (when then passes it on to all
           tools).

       -B[directory], --builddir[=directory],
       --builddirectory[=directory]
           Enable out of source building and use the specified directory
           as the build directory. If directory parameter is omitted, a
           default build directory will be chosen.

           If this option is not specified, building will be done in
           source by default unless the build system requires or prefers
           out of source tree building.  In such a case, the default
           build directory will be used even if --builddirectory is not
           specified.

           If the build system prefers out of source tree building but
           still allows in source building, the latter can be re-enabled
           by passing a build directory path that is the same as the
           source directory path.

Reconfigure your build environment to not have "some warnings being treated as errors"

[andykimpe]

even adding your patch

https://github.com/TASEmulators/desmume/commit/6508c2b115f954afece4243e36e9e35e1d459ea8.patch

it's still in error

debuild

you can see it's still the same

please help to solve it

[amidevous]

I have the impression that the patch provided by zeromus is not applied correctly

can you check if they are applied in the file when the build gives you this error

[andykimpe]

actually it was not applied never put 9 in the compat except debhelper 9 and clearly obsolete

andykimpe@4d6e92d

but it gives an error

I think the problem comes from the flags used by debian and ubuntu

in manual its build and if we delete them too
try like that
