[ovs-discuss] Problem building Debian Packages with shared libraries.

[MikeB]

I'm using openvswitch-2.4.0 on a Debian Jessie x86-64 system.

I'm trying to build Debian packages with libovsdb and libovscommon as
shared libraries and get errors from dh_shlibdeps.

Can someone advise me on how to get around this error?

Regards, Mike

I'm using the following command to build.

DATAPATH_CONFIGURE_OPTS='--enable-shared' fakeroot debian/rules binary

The following is the tail of build which shows the failure
