I'm running into the same issue doing a cross distro build (compiling packages for older debian/ubuntu). Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but when I run dpkg-buildpackage -S, the build fails since I don't have the correct build dependencies installed: dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: bison cmake (>= 1.6.2) doxygen flex gfortran graphviz Now the problem is that since i'm building for older distros the dependency version don't match. What would be the right thing to do here? For the binary packages using gbp and pbuilder just works fine. thanks, - Gijs
