Hi there, I tried to build your library and it was a bit hard as the build-dependancy had doxygen which has close to 600 MB of dependencies but finally was able to prevail.
This is the command I used to make it :- $ dget -u --build http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libs/libsfml/libsfml_2.1+dfsg-1.dsc At the very end of the build process I got the following :- make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/shirish/Games/libsfml-2.1+dfsg' dh_makeshlibs dh_shlibdeps dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-audio2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-audio.so.2.1 was not linked against librt.so.1 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-graphics2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-graphics.so.2.1 was not linked against libXext.so.6 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-graphics2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-graphics.so.2.1 was not linked against libX11.so.6 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-graphics2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-graphics.so.2.1 was not linked against libICE.so.6 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-graphics2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-graphics.so.2.1 was not linked against librt.so.1 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-graphics2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-graphics.so.2.1 was not linked against libXrandr.so.2 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-graphics2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-graphics.so.2.1 was not linked against libSM.so.6 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-network2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-network.so.2.1 was not linked against librt.so.1 (it uses none of the library's symbols) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/libsfml-window2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-window.so.2.1 was not linked against librt.so.1 (it uses none of the library's symbols) At the very end it did build these packages :- dh_installdeb dh_gencontrol dh_md5sums dh_builddeb dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-dev' in `../libsfml-dev_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-audio2' in `../libsfml-audio2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-graphics2' in `../libsfml-graphics2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-network2' in `../libsfml-network2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-system2' in `../libsfml-system2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-window2' in `../libsfml-window2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml2-dbg' in `../libsfml2-dbg_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `libsfml-doc' in `../libsfml-doc_2.1+dfsg-1_all.deb'. dpkg-genchanges -b >../libsfml_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.changes dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload - not including any source code dpkg-source --after-build libsfml-2.1+dfsg dpkg-buildpackage: binary only upload (no source included) The end result is this :- $ ls *.deb libsfml2-dbg_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-doc_2.1+dfsg-1_all.deb libsfml-system2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-audio2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-graphics2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-window2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-dev_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-network2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb I made a directory and moved them there then :- $ mkdir libsfml2-deb-pkg $ mv libsfml*.deb libsfml2-deb-pkg/ /libsfml2-deb-pkg$ ls libsfml2-dbg_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-doc_2.1+dfsg-1_all.deb libsfml-system2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-audio2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-graphics2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-window2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-dev_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libsfml-network2_2.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb /libsfml2-deb-pkg$ sudo dpkg -i * Selecting previously unselected package libsfml2-dbg:amd64.
