Build crashing

Did this:

$ mkdir ~/build-hulahop
$ cd ~/build-hulahop
$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-hulahop
$ sudo apt-get -b source python-hulahop
$cd python-hulahop
$sudo autoreconf
$sudo debuild -us -uc

Got this:

"sudo apt-get -b source" builds the package after downloading it. When I attempted this, I did not get an error. The error only occurs after subsiquent rebuilds.

The issue is related to the fact that the ./configure script is regenerated. Therefore, either the patch to the script should be dropped, or the configure script regeneration in debian/rules should be dropped.

Could you suggest a temporary work around?

Thanks!

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

Well, the package is already built by "apt-get -b source", which builds the binaries etc.

If you just do "apt-get source hulahop; cd <the resulting directory>; <optionally make your changes>; debuild -us -uc", you should be fine.

I am trying to use the workaround described in Bug #390475.

which means:

$ mkdir ~/build-hulahop
$ cd ~/build-hulahop
$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-hulahop
$ sudo apt-get source python-hulahop
$cd sugar-hulahop-0.4.9
$sudo autoreconf
$sudo debuild -us -uc

and I get the same build error: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed

it does produce a ../sugar-hulahop_0.4.9-1ubuntu2_i386.build, but that is not a .deb so I'm assuming it isn't completing the package building.

So, still stuck. Probably that autoreconf....?
