How to create Viktor Harbour 3.40 .deb package on Raspbian ?

[fvit]

Hello,
I have a problem on creating a .deb package from Viktor Harbour 3.40

After building on a Raspberry Pi (1) Model B flawlessly...

...almost flawlessly but for me is ok ;)

Then i tried to build a .deb package to install Harbour on my other two Pis but i get this error message:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/harbour-core-master# sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary
dh_testdir
make: dh_testdir: Command not found
debian/rules:39: recipe for target 'build-stamp' failed
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 127

If someone know the solution please let me know.

Thank you for reading :)

[Teo Fonrouge]

Hi,

You haven't installed dh_testdir which is part of debhelper

Install debhelper package:

$ sudo apt install debhelper

best regards,

Teo

[fvit]

Thank you for your help, you are obviously right,

This line is in the "build section" on the GitHub page of Viktor...

You will need these base packages to build/package/test/use Harbour:

 bash git gcc binutils fakeroot debhelper valgrind upx uncrustify p7zip-full

I'm very sorry for the silly question...

Thank you again for your help

[fvit]

I'm still here... :)

I have followed the guide for building the .deb file but i got this error:

Wow, the Author Himself :) 

Thank you so much for your quick reply, but unfortunately, after (too) many hours of building (now I use git to get the source... the time before I used the "zip"ball on your GitHub page) I have this error:

Maybe is my fault. I have never used "sudo" to git or fakeroot...

I have tried again a few minutes ago after a "git pull" but I have the same error.

Thank you again for your help here, and for your work in general.

I work daily with your compiler for my freelance job and just for fun on my Raspberry Pi(s) :)

[vszakats]

Hi fvit,

I don't use .deb (or .rpm) build methods (nor would I ever

recommend to install a non-stable Harbour in such way),

but doing a plain standalone build using `make` finishes

without any problem for me on the Raspberry Pi.

[ `Error: Missing dependency:` messages are expected and

can be safely ignored if those dependencies are indeed

missing.]

If you suspect any bug, please open an Issue here:

   https://github.com/vszakats/harbour-core/issues

[fvit]

Thanks Viktor, i don't suspect any bug, is (much) more probable that i'm doing something wrong :)

I build daily your compiler on windows 10 64bit with MinGW64 without an issue whatsover, is more than two years now.

My last attempt to build on the RPi is to NOT upgrade the firmware to the latest version but to keep the old one.

If I'm successfull i will post it here.

I have started the build process an hour ago, I expect to finish tonight.. :)

I will not bother you again, I promise :)

 Tnx again, bye!

It's possible something goes differently when the deb toolchain

is controlling the build, but I'm not familiar with .deb creation.

Good news is that Harbour can be used just fine after a plain

build, it's enough to run the tools inside bin/linux/gcc/ directly.

(or can be added to PATH, too.). Well let's hope it builds with

your current OS state.

-Viktor

[fvit]

We can close here... :)

After a bunch of tests the build works pretty well after a simple:

"sudo make clean install"

I have abandoned the idea of using the deb toolchain, and now it works great.

With the lastest "git pull" i have a few more errors on "hbtest" but i know is transitory.

The project changes hour by hour...

Thank you Viktor!

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad it works now, so it's probably

the .deb build environment that messes up something. .deb is

meant for packagers and distro maintainers, so it's not a showstopper.

I'd reiterate that `install`-ing is unnecessary and speaking of non-stable

software, it's dangerous especially if combined with `sudo`. Simple

`make` should result in an equally usable binary, with the advantage

that you can just wipe the whole directory and start over anytime.

 

With the lastest "git pull" i have a few more errors on "hbtest" but i know is transitory.

Yes, in fact your report unintentionally revealed a nasty flaw on ARM

Harbour builds (all versions/forks). I've committed the tests for these

already. Related bug report with a patch-proposal pending here:
