Ubuntu

Please help debug building jo

Asked by Hồng Quân

Because Ubuntu repo doesn't contain jo 1.3, I tried to build in on my PPA, but it failed: https://launchpad.net/~ng-hong-quan/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/18669249, even though that it works when I build at local (with debuild command).

Please help.

./configure: line 4478: syntax error near unexpected token `bashcompdir,'

You need to add pkg-config to your Build-Depends line in debian/control, otherwise autoreconf doesn't have enough information to generate the configure script correctly.

debuild isn't a sufficient test for this sort of thing, because it doesn't build in a clean environment. Try sbuild instead (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleSbuild).

Thank you. I added pkg-config and it is built successfully: https://launchpad.net/~ng-hong-quan/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
