building okular package
 

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build the package for okular from latest sources.
So far what i've done is:
* get latest git
* get latest source package in sid
* copy the debian folder from the source package to the sources from git.
* update the changelog to reflect that i'm trying to build version 4.9.2
* changed debian maintainers' email with my own, so that i can sign
the package at the end of the process.
* created the .orig. tarball in ../
...i thnk this is it.

dpkg-buildpackage exits with the following output:

parsechangelog/debian: warning: debian/changelog(l5): badly
formatted trailer line
LINE: -- Name Surname <namesurname@gmail.com> Wed, 04 Oct 2012 14:22:00 +0200

make: *** [debian/dhmk_build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

I get a bunch of those warnings about the changelog, but i can't
understand what's wrong with it. Then there is the nasty erorr.
I tried to run cmake CMakeLists.txt and make and the program builds
successfully, but i rather install it on my system through a package,
so that i can easily uninstall it if i'm not happy with it.

I unerstand it is not the easiest package to start packaging from, but
it is the program i need for most of my work, and there are a couple
of bug fixes i could totally benefit from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacopo

Thanks to a quick chat with Sune, I modified the changelog using the
dch script and was able to build most of the program by simply running
dpkg-buildpackage from within the sources' directory.

Unfortunately, now i get the following error:

dh_install
cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp/usr/lib/libokularcore.so.1': No such file
or directory
dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/usr/lib/libokularcore.so.1
debian/libokularcore1//usr/lib/ returned exit code 1
make[1]: *** [pre_install_dh_install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/***mypath***/OKULAR/okular-4.9.2'
make: *** [debian/dhmk_install] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I suppose that this is due to the fact that multiple packages are
built out of okular sources, and probably i need to first build
libokularcore, install it and only afterward build the rest of the
program.
This is just my guess, though.
As usual, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
j

Actually. nevermind. I found that in that path there is now a file
libokularcore.so.2, so the problem is i now need to figure out how to
change that .1 in .2 for dh_install.

Sorry for double mailin.

dh_install is reading stuff from debian/FOO.install

note that there is a pattern in libokularcore.so.1 going into a package
named libokularcore1
