Hi, I'm having some trouble building debs of DBI-1.21.
I untar the tarball, do a 'perl Makefile.PL' to get the Makefile ready, but when I run 'debuild', it seems to blow away the Makefile and then complains that it can't continue as that file doesn't exist! # ls -l Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28K Jan 3 15:39 Makefile # debuild dpkg-buildpackage: source package is dbi dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 1.21-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Foo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 debian/rules clean dh_testdir dh_testroot rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp # Add here commands to clean up after the build process. /usr/bin/make clean make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/dbi-1.21' rm -rf Perl.c DBI.c DBI-1.21 Perl.xsi dbish dbiproxy ndtest.prt ./blib Makefile.aperl blib/arch/auto/DBI/extralibs.all perlmain.c tmon.out mon.out so_locations pm_to_blib *.o *.a perl.exe perl perl DBI.bs DBI.bso DBI.def libDBI.def DBI.exp DBI.x core core.*perl.*.? *perl.core mv Makefile Makefile.old > /dev/null 2>&1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/dbi-1.21' dh_clean dpkg-source -b dbi-1.21 dpkg-source: building dbi using existing dbi_1.21.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: building dbi in dbi_1.21-1.diff.gz dpkg-source: building dbi in dbi_1.21-1.dsc debian/rules build dh_testdir # Add here commands to configure the package. touch configure-stamp dh_testdir # Add here commands to compile the package. /usr/bin/make make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/dbi-1.21' make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

I've even done a 'chattr +i Makefile' just so it won't blow it away and the build actually does complete, but there isn't anything in there other than: # dpkg -c ../dbi_1.21-1_i386.deb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:51 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:50 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:49 ./usr/bin/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:49 ./usr/sbin/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:50 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:50 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-01-03 15:11:51 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 4160 2002-02-06 19:15:47 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/ToDo.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 173 2003-01-03 15:07:39 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/README.Debian -rw-r--r-- root/root 235 2003-01-03 15:07:39 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/copyright -rw-r--r-- root/root 14909 2002-02-06 19:15:43 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/changelog.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 2193 2002-01-29 09:09:04 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/README.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 154 2003-01-03 15:07:39 ./usr/share/doc/dbi/changelog.Debian.gz Sorry for the wrapping, but does anyone have any suggestion as to what I can do here?
