No need to shout. I was claiming it because it was in fact happening. It may be a bug in checkinstall though, and not in scons or in your build. But it's definitely there: $ cd ardour-2.0.2 $ checkinstall <answer prompts to build package> $ dpkg-deb -c ../ardour_2.0.2-1_amd64.deb - -rw-r--r-- root/root 114 2007-05-06 21:39 ./usr/share/doc/ardour/README - -rw-r--r-- root/root 17992 2007-05-06 21:39 ./usr/share/doc/ardour/COPYING - -rw-r--r-- root/root 546 2007-05-06 21:39 ./usr/share/doc/ardour/PACKAGER_README drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-05-19 17:09 ./usr/bin/ lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-05-19 17:09 ./usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.1 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-05-19 17:09 ./usr/bin/g++ -> g++-4.1 Weird. > > I am very disappointed to hear that the Debian package is using > SYSLIBS=1.

It looks like the latest Sid package no longer uses SYSLIBS=1, so I guess you were heard. I still think that The Right Thing would be to find and fix the problem with the system libs, rather than just bypassing them. But if SYSLIBS=0 works, then that's probably good enough. FYI, I'm pretty sure that the ardour 0.99 package used the system libs, and worked fine. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGVh+We8HF+6xeOIcRAmEPAKCXK6rjk9tCQZGEjPMsY4B+BFNG1gCg6U8P HWqsoJHFfcY7aqzC8OYktpM= =NrxT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
