For the latter two options, please see a patch at
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/222938828/boats_201307-1build2_201307-1ubuntu1.diff.gz
I went to apply your patch in raspbian but I found further work was
needed to get a sucessful build. Launchpad shows it also failing in ubuntu.
The first failure I got was a "no targets specified and no makefile
found" error.
Further investigation showed that your patch had an unexplained new file
debian/boats.debhelper.log . I presume this was caused by a broken clean
target. I added a line to debian/rules to remove it in the clean target.
The build then failed with
gifwriter.cpp:49:28: error: cannot convert ‘const char*’ to
‘GifFileType*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘void EGifSetGifVersion(GifFileType*,
bool)’
EGifSetGifVersion("89a");
I changed it to
EGifSetGifVersion(fileType,true);
Which I think is probablly correct but i'm not an expert on the API
changes in giflib
After making that change I got a succesful build, debdiff attatched, no
intent to NMU in Debian.
