Annotated mingw-6 changes to clazzes-org debian packages

Owned by Wolfgang Glas
Last updated: 2015-06-03 by Christoph LechleitnerVersion comment

 summarizes the most important changes to debian packages 

debian/control

Key changes:

  • mingw-w32-pkg-config and mingw-w64-pkg-config are deprecated, use mingw-w64-tools, which contains tools for both architectures (w32/w64).

  • mingw-w32-gcc and mingw-w64-gcc are deprecated, simply use g++-mingw-w64, which contains all compilers for both architectures (w32/w64).

  • Split packages to dev and runtime package
  • Root runtime dependencies are mingw-w64-gcc-rt resp. mingw-w64-g++-rt and mingw-w32-gcc-rt resp. mingw-w32-g++-rt 
  • Root development dependencies are mingw-w64-i686-dev (w32) and mingw-w64-x86-64-dev (w64)
  • Correctly refer to upstream dev/runtime packages like mingw-w64-zlib, mingw-w64-zlib-dev and other likewise dependencies of your package (not shown in the example below...)
  • Depend on debhelper >= 9
  • Distribution is jessie, generation is 6

debian/rules

Key changes:

  • Split deb and runtime packages.
  • Do not include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
  • Use dh wildcard rule as described e.g. in https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging
  • Define DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION on your own as seen below, if you need it. (Not needed for most packages...)
  • Move $(prefix)/lib and $(prefix)/include to $(devprefix) (likewise for w32...)
  • IMPORTANT: Add debian/devhost.txt.gz, debian/*.substvars and debian/*.debhelper.log to the list of cleaned files. (If you don't do this, you will suffer from really crazy effects on rebuilds!!!)
  • Do not clean debian/compat, add it to the svn repository.

The fiddling with libiconv.pc is specific to the libiconv example, most modern autoconf packages come with a suitable *.pc file installed in the correct location.
