Hi,
Trying to build ROOT 5.28.00a into .deb packages I faced some problems.
Most of them is described in the following topics.

Finally I managed to get the set of deb’s for Debian 6.0 squeeze
and Ubuntu 10.10 maverick, i386 arch. I can not guarantee that
all packages are built correctly since there is plenty of warnings.
The main problem was with build dependencies. The scripts attempts
to avoid compiling of some libraries and plugins if the required
-dev packages are not installed. With some of explicit --enable-
options for configure script in debian/rules, it leads to obscure
and hard to track errors. The early manifestation is
fakeroot debian/rules debian/control
test: 324: -gt: unexpected operator
due to empty $(PKGLIST) in debian/control target rules (debian/rules
file). It does not stop the build process. The consequences are missing
libraries during linking much later or even problems with building
.deb’s due to incomplete debian/control file. As an example I can
mention --enable-clarens that leads to failure if the following packages
are not installed: libcurl4-gnutls-dev, xmlrpc-c-devel, and libxml2-dev.
I have added an additional test to debian/rules.
Another issue is with ‘make static’. I do not see this target in
README/INSTALL. Is it supported yet? I commented out the related
stuff.
I slightly modified the configure options in build/package/debian/rules.
–enable-g4root does not exist any more. Also I think, system
libglew1.5-dev should be used, so I have added --disable-builtin-glew.
Now this library is added to debian/control.in, but it should be moved
to the appropriate place of makelists.sh.
I have changed #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in makelists.sh.
I have not found the origin of the problem with ‘shift’ command.
The packaging scripts expected olbd for xrootd package. I do not
familiar with xrootd, but there is the following post
[url]Problem in installing pyroot
[quote]Also, the slides you refer to look quite old
(‘olbd’ has been replaced by ‘cmsd’ since several years).[/quote]
I have removed olbd from
build/package/common/root-system-xrootd.install.in
It seems that cmsd should be added instead.
Is there any reason why (CINT) and (MAKECINT) are missed in all-$(MODNAME)
target of cint/cint/Module.mk? I have added them. The issue with renaming
of cintdlls global target have been already fixed in SVN trunk.
I found no gdb-backtrace-script in source tree, so I have removed it from
build/package/common/root-system-common.install.in
Finally, I should say that I have not solve the puzzle with unuran unpacking,
so one have to do this by hand.
The patch with these changes is attached.
A short howto.
- Install necessary -dev packages. Ubuntu has some old version of
ROOT in the universe repository, so
apt-get build-dep root-system
will install most of them. I hope you will be informed about missing libraries
with a meaningful message later. I can anticipate
apt-get install graphviz
If I remember correctly, devscripts package is required as well
(probably --no-install-recommends should be passed to apt-get).
- Obtain and unpack root_v5.28.00a.source.tar.gz
- Rename the directory
mv -i root root-5.28.00a
4. Apply the patch
cd root-5.28.00a
patch -p1 < ../root-5.28.00a_debian.patch
5. Unpack unuran
pushd math/unuran/src/
tar xvfz unuran-1.8.0-root.tar.gz
popd
6. Start compilation
make debian
7. In the case of failure due to unmet dependencies, install the requested
packages and repeat the step 6.
Max.

apt-get build-dep root-system
