[Gambas-user] BUG: dpkg-buildpackage stopped for Debian package

[timothy]

Timothy:

This bug was reported by Mario on one of the Linux Basic Gambas forum
(see http://www.linuxbasic.net/index.php?topic=255.0). If there are any
answers I shall post them on the forum. Or you can post them there
yourself.

Mario:

I tried to make a Debian package and everything seemed to work without
errors. Gambas reported that the package has been built successfully but
that wasn't the case. There wasn't any package.

I checked out the svn trunk and started gambas again for debugging
purposes. While creating the package again I found out that
dpkg-buildpackage stopped with an error ("Build dependencies/conflicts
unsatisfied; aborting."). Unfortunately there's neither an option to
show the output of dpkg-buildpackage in the status textbox nor an
evaluation of the return code.

Package.module:
Code:

  368   AddLog(("Creating package..."))
  369   sCmd = "cd " & Quote.Shell(sPackagePath) & "; fakeroot
dpkg-buildpackage > /dev/null"
  370   SHELL sCmd WAIT FOR READ

- Gambas version is the latest trunk (1.9.49)
- Distro is Kubuntu Feisty Fawn
- Description: Start making an installation package like you normally
would do. Choose a Debian system. Finish the job. You get no error
messages but no deb file has been created. There's no way to find out
that dkpg-buildpackage reported an error behind the scenes.
- code sample (as written above)

Thanks
