Has anyone made x64 .debs of Gnome Inform 7 5U92 yet?
I guess if nobody else is going to be regularly making them, maybe I'll try to collaborate with P. Chimento on getting them into the usual release process...

On a related note: Is it possible (using sufficient force) to bludgeon the gnome-inform7 source into even *building* on Debian stable? I want to play with I7, but I'd rather not go through the hassle of switching to unstable for the sake of one program. -- \_\/_/ turbulence is certainty turbulence is friction between you and me \ / every time we try to impose order we create chaos \/ -- Killing Joke, "Mathematics of Chaos"

The previous builder doesn't have access to that system any more, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd like to contribute them! -- Philip

I thought it did, actually. If you tell me what dependencies are missing from stable, I'll tell you how to bludgeon them out (a discussion perhaps best conducted by e-mail). In any case, I would like to have the source distribution build on Etch stable, at least until Lenny is released. -- Philip

Sure, I'll contribute them. I'm tempted to make a Debian package from scratch instead of using alien on the RPMs, as I believe they've been built in the past, but I'm happy to run the build the usual way to get a 5U92 release out ASAP. What's the procedure? When I get home tonight I'll download the source and give it a tinker.

Here are the basic steps for building such binary package:
create the /opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/DEBIAN/control file
Package: gnome-inform7 Version: 5U92 Section: contrib Priority: optional Architecture: x86_64 (I'm not sure for this part, it may be this or amd64... but I think it's this) Depends: libgtk2.0-0, libgnomeui-0, libgtksourceview2.0-0, libgtkspell0, libuuid1, libgtksourceview2.0-0, libgtkhtml2-0, libgtkspell0, libfreetype6, libsdl-image1.2, libpng12-0, libdbus-glib-1-2 Suggests: frotz, gargoyle Maintainer: your name Description: GNOME Inform 7 port of the Inform 7 IDE GNOME Inform 7 is a GNOME port of the Inform 7 integrated development environment for Inform 7. Inform 7 is a "natural" programming language for writing interactive fiction (also known as text adventures.)
(maybe I've required too many dependencies, but I think it needs most of them...)
./configure --prefix=/usr make make install prefix=/opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/usr
Then from /opt/Debian run :
dpkg-deb --build gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64
It's how I did the i386 package. I no longer use the Debian 64 system I had before, so it's difficult for me to build it.
About building gnome-inform7 on Etch, good luck! I wanted to do it for my eeepc, but etch has too old packages, especially all the libgtk dependencies, so I quickly gave up.

Thanks very much. I'll see what I can do about making an actual debian/ directory so that we can share it for building 32-bit and 64- bit packages (and make it easy to update to new upstream releases).

The only GTK dependency that ./configure complains about on *my* etch system is gtksourceview (which is, indeed, a 1.x version rather than a 2.x version). -- \_\/_/ turbulence is certainty turbulence is friction between you and me \ / every time we try to impose order we create chaos \/ -- Killing Joke, "Mathematics of Chaos"
