My deb can't be installed

Hy everybody,

I succeeded in building a debian package for my program.
But when I try to install it on the N900 I get the message that its not compatible.
What could cause that?

This is my control file:

Code:

Source: unitrans

Section: Education

Priority: extra

Maintainer: Markus Doebele <mar_doe@gmx.de>

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4)

Standards-Version: 1.0.0



Package: unitrans

Architecture: any

Depends: libqt4-gui

Description: Unitrans is a universal diccionary for the maemo platform

Re: My deb can't be installed

I think the problem is in the Standards-Version field. Value should be 3.7.2
It is the version of the packaging system, not of your application (application version is retrieved from changelog file).

As a further note, Section should be user/education.
Packages not under user section are not considered as end-user applications, so they will not be shown as installable applications to users by the Maemo application manager.

You find everything you need to know in this section within maemo.org wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_packagin...ng_information

Re: My deb can't be installed

I tried changing version to 3.7.2 but I still receive the same error.
Could it be that it depends on what version of qt I have installed on the N900?
I use the actual qt creator from nokia for development on my kubuntu 9.10 system.
Or what exactely does the apt system check on the N900?

Re: My deb can't be installed

Is it an ARM binary? I see arch=any and you're using QT, so I assume it is written in C++...

-jkq

Re: My deb can't be installed

Yes, its a C++ program.
Should I state something more specific in the architecture field?

I compiled the program in the scratchbox by changing the target to armel.
My settings are:

Code:

Compiler:         cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7

Architecture:     arm

Sub-architecture: arm

C-library:        glibc

Devkits:          qemu debian-etch perl

CPU-transparency: /scratchbox/devkits/qemu/bin/qemu-arm-sb

This is what I get from the "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot":

I believe "any" is the right answer, although I don't have anything in front of me at the moment to confirm it. Mainly I just wanted to know if you used scratchbox when compiling. =)

That all seems reasonable to me... not that I am an expert!

Have you tried doing "dpkg -i <debname>" as root on your device? Does it return any error messages?

-jkq

Re: My deb can't be installed

I just tried that and it installs without errors.
Same happens when I do "dpkg -i unitrans_1.0.0_armel.deb" in the scratchbox.
But I do not see an icon and there is no executable in /usr/bin.
How do I say again where the executable should be installed?

Found this in the rules file:

Code:

install: build

        dh_testdir

        dh_testroot

        dh_clean -k 

        dh_installdirs



        # Add here commands to install the package into debian/unitrans.

        #$(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/unitrans install

        $(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/usr/bin

Basically I have only one file to install (I included the other files as qt resources).
Should the above lines handle that?

I'm not sure. It is calling "make install" for your project. What does your makefile do?

Also, what is the output of "dpkg -L unitrans"? That should show you what got installed and to where.

-jkq

Re: My deb can't be installed

My makefile only contains this:

Code:

####### Compile



main.o: main.cpp mainwindow.h

        $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o main.o main.cpp



mainwindow.o: mainwindow.cpp mainwindow.h \

                ui_mainwindow.h

        $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o mainwindow.o mainwindow.cpp



moc_mainwindow.o: moc_mainwindow.cpp 

        $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o moc_mainwindow.o moc_mainwindow.cpp



qrc_zeux.o: qrc_zeux.cpp 

        $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o qrc_zeux.o qrc_zeux.cpp



####### Install



install:   FORCE



uninstall:   FORCE



FORCE:

It is created by qmake.
All this C++ stuff is new to me.

I read qmake gets its informations from the project file.
Which looks like this for this program:

Code:

# -------------------------------------------------

# Project created by QtCreator 2010-02-18T12:12:07

# -------------------------------------------------

TARGET = UniTrans

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp \

    mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS += mainwindow.h

FORMS += mainwindow.ui

RESOURCES += zeux.qrc

Where do I enter the information where to install my files?

In the area indicated below (note that I cut out the "Compile" section from your makefile snippet).

Code:

####### Install



install:   FORCE

        # add your install code here!



uninstall:   FORCE



FORCE:

In my app, I just put the install code directly in the debian/rules file.
