Debian package failing to build on Ubuntu about jzmq HOT 5 CLOSED

FWIW: I'm using latest master, which at the time of writing, is 8755367328a1c33decd2e14155dbbfcdc23a63c0. Compiling against 0MQ 2.0.10, which has worked in the past, so I think I'm being stupid and missing something.

from jzmq.

I have never used the Debian packages for 0MQ / jzmq. Is it supposed to work if you combine a git checkout of 0MQ with a Debian package of jzmq?

Sorry I can't be of any more assistance. But remember you should be able to compile everything by hand from fresh git checkouts.

I guess you need to have libzmq0 installed as debian package and not just simply from source.

You can also try to comment line with command dh_shlibdeps in file debian/rules.

@abelaska You hit the nail on the head; managed to resolve this by simply building a debian package from the source of the 0MQ version I needed, and compiling JZMQ against that instead of a simple build/install...it makes sense, looking at it retrospectively. ;]

Thanks for your help guys.

I would also be interested to know what happened.

I get the very similar error:

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libzmq.so.1 (used by debian/jzmq/usr/lib/libjzmq.so.0.0.0).

When i try this build. That libzmq is installed from a package - but it's one we've built ourselves. What does "no dependency information found" mean, and how can we supply this information?

EDIT: The package we built ourselves does not have a shlibs control file, so when dpkg installed it, it was unable to generate a shlibs file in /var/lib/dpkg/info/. dpkg-shlibdeps is therefore unable to work out the appropriate name with which to refer to libzmq.

Packaging is hard.
