Title: Debian Packaging
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | This page explains how to create Debian packages for the [[FPC]] compiler itself. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | - for more general information about [[FPC]] release, see [[Release engineering]] page. | |
| 4 | + | - for information on creating Debian packages for any application, see [[Debian package structure]]. | |

| 6 | + | ### Getting sources | |
| 7 | + | ||
| 8 | + | FPC sources are managed using SVN. The most convenient way to get sources in order to build a release is using the svn export command : | |
| 9 | + | ||
| 10 | + | `svn export `[`http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_x_y_z`](http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_x_y_z)` fpcbuild-x.y.z` | |
| 11 | + | ||
| 12 | + | ### Building packages | |
| 13 | + | ||
| 14 | + | The top make file of the fpcbuild-x.y.z branch supports the <b>deb</b> target which is intended to build Debian packages from source. | |
| 15 | + | ||
| 16 | + | `make deb` | |
| 17 | + | ||
| 18 | + | However, users may want to use their own packeging rules file | |
| 19 | + | ||
| 20 | + | `make deb DEBDIR=<some path to debian dir>` | |
| 21 | + | ||
| 22 | + | Or use a particular libgdb version | |
| 23 | + | ||
| 24 | + | `make deb GDBLIBDIR=<path/${OS_TARGET}/${CPU_TARGET}>` | |
| 25 | + | ||
| 26 | + | ### How it works | |
