Hi, I tried to debianize the 389-ds-base-1.2.1 package in a clean directory and sources, and I got an error. The basic steps that I performed were the following: 1) 389-ds-base-1.2.1 package - Initial debianization: root at dirserv1:~/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1# dh_make -e morenisco at noc-root.net -c gpl -f ../389-ds-base-1.2.1.tar.gz Type of package: single binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module or cdbs? [s/m/l/k/b] s Maintainer name : root Email-Address : morenisco at noc-root.net Date : Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:56:55 +0000 Package Name : 389-ds-base Version : 1.2.1 License : gpl Using dpatch : no Type of Package : Single Hit <enter> to confirm: Done. Please edit the files in the debian/ subdirectory now. 389-ds-base uses a configure script, so you probably don't have to edit the Makefiles. 2) I modified the control file as follows: Source: 389-ds-base Section: admin Priority: extra Maintainer: Morenisco <morenisco at noc-root.net> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), autotools-dev Standards-Version: 3.7.3 Homepage: http://directory.fedoraproject.org Package: 389-ds-base Architecture: any Depends: libsvrcore0, libsvrcore-dev, libmozldap-0d, libmozldap-dev, libmozilla-ldap-perl, libdb4.6-dev, libicu-dev, libsnmp-dev, libkrb5-dev, libpam-dev, libnet-ldap-perl, libperl-dev Description: The enterprise-class Open Source LDAP server for Linux. It is hardened by real-world use, is full-featured, supports multi-master replication, and already handles many of the largest LDAP deployments in the world. 3) I tried to build the package with the following command: root at dirserv1:~/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1# dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot The generated output is too long, and the latest part is the following: ldap/servers/slapd/.libs/libslapd_la-snmp_collator.o: In function `snmp_collator_create_semaphore': /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:532: undefined reference to `sem_open' /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:536: undefined reference to `sem_unlink' /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:542: undefined reference to `sem_open' ldap/servers/slapd/.libs/libslapd_la-snmp_collator.o: In function `snmp_collator_sem_wait': /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:574: undefined reference to `sem_trywait' /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:586: undefined reference to `sem_close' /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:587: undefined reference to `sem_unlink' ldap/servers/slapd/.libs/libslapd_la-snmp_collator.o: In function `snmp_collator_update': /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:629: undefined reference to `sem_post' ldap/servers/slapd/.libs/libslapd_la-snmp_collator.o: In function `snmp_collator_stop': /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:505: undefined reference to `sem_close' /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:506: undefined reference to `sem_unlink' ldap/servers/slapd/.libs/libslapd_la-snmp_collator.o: In function `snmp_collator_init': /root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1/ldap/servers/slapd/snmp_collator.c:205: undefined reference to `sem_post' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libslapd.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 root at dirserv1:~/project-389/389-ds-base-1.2.1# The complete output is in the following URL: http://morenisco.noc-root.net/debian/files/Error_Debianizing_389-ds-base-1.2.1 Some idea about why this can be failing please?
