Hello, i'm trying to publish package of small utility built with CMake. Build failed with this error: fakeroot debian/rules binary cd build_dir; cmake -DCOMPONENT=Unspecified -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../debian/tmp/usr -P cmake_install.cmake -- Install configuration: "" -- Install component: "Unspecified" -- Installing: /<>/build_dir/../debian/tmp/usr/bin/xkb-switch -- Set runtime path of "../debian/tmp/usr/bin/xkb-switch" to "" -- Installing: /<>/build_dir/../debian/tmp/usr/lib/libxkbswitch.so.1.7.0 -- Installing: /<>/build_dir/../debian/tmp/usr/lib/libxkbswitch.so.1 -- Installing: /<>/build_dir/../debian/tmp/usr/lib/libxkbswitch.so -- Installing: /usr/share/man/man1/xkb-switch.1.xz CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:101 (file): file INSTALL cannot copy file "/<>/build_dir/xkb-switch.1.xz" to "/usr/share/man/man1/xkb-switch.1.xz". My debian/rules is: #!/usr/bin/make -f BUILDDIR = build_dir build: mkdir -p $(BUILDDIR) cd $(BUILDDIR); cmake -DOPT_BIN_SUFFIX=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. make -C $(BUILDDIR) preinstall touch build binary: binary-indep binary-arch binary-indep: build binary-arch: build cd $(BUILDDIR); cmake -DCOMPONENT=Unspecified -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../debian/tmp/usr -P cmake_install.cmake mkdir -p debian/tmp/DEBIAN dpkg-gensymbols -pxkb-switch dh_shlibdeps dpkg-gencontrol -pxkb-switch dpkg --build debian/tmp .. clean: rm -f build rm -rf $(BUILDDIR) .PHONY: binary binary-arch binary-indep clean My cmake_install.cmake is: if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}x" STREQUAL "xUnspecifiedx" OR NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT) file(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/man/man1" TYPE FILE FILES "/home/user/src/debian-build/xkb-switch.1.xz") endif() My CMakeLists.txt is: SET(MANDIR "share/man" CACHE STRING "Manpages installation path") INSTALL(FILES ${compressed_man} DESTINATION ${MANDIR}/man${man_type}) How can I fix this issue? Or have we good practices to build man files on launchpad?
