There was a thread about cross-compiling in the past few days...that might also have some useful ingormation. > But I'm running into problems: > > 1.

I have debhelper installed here, and I don't see it. http://packages.debian.org/ will know though, if the file is in Debian. > 2.

I don't know the answer, but have you considered building the packages in a chroot? http://people.debian.org/~walters/chroot.html explains how to create one. Then you don't have to worry about things getting removed and such as build-{deps,conflicts}. pbuilder is another option. Sorry I don't actually know either answer, but hopefully this points you in the right direction :) -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
