Debian Packaging: what changed
Revision 4 to 5. Removed lines have a minus sign; added lines have a plus sign.
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | This page explains how to create Debian packages for the [[FPC]] compiler itself. | |
| 2 | 2 | ||
| 3 | 3 | - for more general information about [[FPC]] release, see [[Release engineering]] page. | |
| 4 | 4 | - for information on creating Debian packages for any application, see [[Debian package structure]]. | |
| 5 | 5 | ||
| 6 | 6 | ### Getting sources | |
| 7 | 7 | ||
| 8 | 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 | 9 | ||
| 10 | - | ||
| 10 | + | ```text | |
| 11 | + | svn export http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_x_y_z fpcbuild-x.y.z | |
| 12 | + | ``` | |
| 11 | 13 | ||
| 12 | 14 | ### Building packages | |
| 13 | 15 | ||
| 14 | 16 | The top make file of the fpcbuild-x.y.z branch supports the deb target which is intended to build Debian packages from source. | |
| 15 | 17 | ||
| 16 | - | ||
| 18 | + | ```text | |
| 19 | + | make deb | |
| 20 | + | ``` | |
| 17 | 21 | ||
| 18 | 22 | However, users may want to use their own packeging rules file | |
| 19 | 23 | ||
| 20 | - | ||
| 24 | + | ```text | |
| 25 | + | make deb DEBDIR=<some path to debian dir> | |
| 26 | + | ``` | |
| 21 | 27 | ||
| 22 | 28 | Or use a particular libgdb version | |
| 23 | 29 | ||
| 24 | - | ||
| 30 | + | ```text | |
| 31 | + | make deb GDBLIBDIR=<path/${OS_TARGET}/${CPU_TARGET}> | |
| 32 | + | ``` | |
| 25 | 33 | ||
| 26 | 34 | ### How it works | |
