Packaging Issue

Mark Davis

First up, this is my first post so hello from me and thank you for all the hard work you put into tvheadend. I have in the last month built myself a new pc and installed ubuntu 12.04. As a complete noob to linux I have been playing and learning every since lol.

Now for my issue

I have followed the instuctions on the wiki for building from source and I am currently up and running in the test enviroment (ie. $ ./build.linux/tvheadend ) I have all my channels scanned and all it working great, currently the kids are watching tv on xbmc so they are happy.

My problem starts when I continue onto the next step in the wiki to actually install tvheadend. I am trying to make a package as per the wiki instructions ( $ ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64 ) but when I do it fails saying

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

The whole output is...

mrdavismauk@Linux-Server:~/tvheadend$ ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64
dpkg-buildpackage: export CFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security

Could someone wiser than me please help me figure out what I have done wrong please. I am a firm believer in learning by trial and error but I am stuck on this one.

Guessing at one or both of

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

and

sudo apt-get install debhelper

(you can, of course, combine these into one command if needed)

Check that you have them installed, and that the version of debhelper is high enough if it is installed (it should be on Precise):

dpkg -l debhelper

Remember that, when you install (_dpkg -i tvheadend.....deb_), you're creating a whole new installation - so you'll have to start again with access control, muxes, channel scanning, etc. You may be able to copy stuff over to address this, but you'll inevitably get something reset in the process that you weren't expecting (e.g. superuser password).

Thank you very much

now you have pointed it out to me, I can see where i could of got that info myself

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 7.0.50) libcurl4-gnutls-dev dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.

It was staring me in the face, I am afraid, that is the noob in me, but it has only been four weeks and I have learnt a lot in that time!

Anyway I done what you suggested and it now works a treat. As for the settings it doesnt bother me doing it again as it doesnt take to long to sort.

Thanks Mark
