Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04

viking:
  Installed: 1.2.1-3build1

Steps to reproduce in Ubuntu 12.04:
1. apt-get source viking
2. cd viking-1.2.1/
3. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Error message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

dh_auto_build: make -j1 returned exit code 2
make: *** [build] Error 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried reaming the XP variable in "configure.ac", but then it fails later with:
configure.ac:341: required file `doc/reference/Makefile.in' not found

After commenting out those lines (the if...then block that tries to load that missing file) it stops at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
...
Removing patch 0003-Add-missing-lz.patch
Restoring src/Makefile.am

Removing patch 0001-disable-po-check.patch
Restoring po/Makefile.in.in

Patch GPSD-API-v5.patch does not remove cleanly (refresh it or enforce with -f)

Using the source package for 1.3.1 from Quetzal does build but only the first time:

1. wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/viking_1.3-1.diff.gz https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/viking_1.3-1.dsc https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/viking_1.3.orig.tar.gz
2. dpkg-source -x viking_1.3-1.dsc
3. cd viking-1.3/
4. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
5. sudo dpkg -i ../viking_1.3-1_amd64.deb

After this, starting Viking as usual shows version 1.3 in Help->About
It seems to run fine.

However, if I try to build it a second time, it fails:
