Hello. I was under the impression that rebuilding a debian package was a simple matter of editing the debian/rules file and running debuild.
It fails. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to rebuild php4-sybase to use the Sybase libraries rather than the tds libraries. Editing debian/rules seems to break other patches needed by the build. Here's what I did: apt-get install devscripts apt-get source php4-sybase apt-get build-dep php4-sybase Next I edited debian/rules so that --with-sybase-ct=shared,/usr was changed to --with-sybase-ct=shared,/opt/sybase/OCS_12-5 (I've ignored the --without-sybase-ct lines for moment, since I want to get it building first.) Running "debuild -us -uc" gives me an error: make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 1 debuild: fatal error at line 765: dpkg-buildpackage failed! I get errors further up too, such as: patching file ext/standard/url.c patching file ext/standard/url_scanner_ex.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. Hunk #2 succeeded at 107 (offset 2 lines).
