[ovs-discuss] Building the Debian package

[Thiago Camargo Martins Cordeiro]

Hi Justin!

 I'm the maintainer of the new Xen Live CD v2.0, it is a Debian Lenny
without any patches. But now I'm planning for the next release version, the
inclusion of the openvswitch, so, I really need the Debian packages to make
the system more standard.

 I read the page http://tinyurl.com/ydmeyvf and I manually patched the
openvswitch-0.90.7/Makefile.am and openvswitch-0.90.7/extras/ezio/
automake.mk but the issue persist.

# dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us

`/home/xenbuilder/openvswitch/stable/openvswitch-0.90.7/_debian'
make: *** [build-indep-stamp] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

 With the command "make -f debian/rules binary" instead the
dpkg-buildpackage, I see:

# make -f debian/rules binary

make  install-data-hook

`/home/xenbuilder/openvswitch/stable/openvswitch-0.90.7/_debian'

Failed to install ezio3 terminfo file.  The ezio-term
program will not work until it has been installed.
Probably, you need to install the 'tic' program from
ncurses, e.g. using a command like:
  apt-get install ncurses-bin
and then re-run "make install"
-----------------------------------------------------------
make[4]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1

 Don't I need to run some autotools or automake commands after changing the
Makefile.am?!

Thanks!
Thiago
