packaging viking

Prerequisites

*TODO* list the packages we need http://revu.tauware.de/~laserjock/

Start

cd 
mkdir src
cd src

mkdir viking
cd viking

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/viking/viking-0.1.3.tar.gz

tar xvfz viki<TAB>
cd viki<TAB>
dh_make --help
dh_make -e ranfyy@gmail.com -c gpl -f ../viking-0.1.3.tar.gz -s -b 

You need a GPG key for the next step.

gpg --gen-key

create a source package

debuild -S -sa
pbuilder-gutsy build ../*.dsc

I get this error with pbuilder:

What is wrong here?

 $ dpkg -S gdk-pixbuf-csource
 libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/share/man/man1/gdk-pixbuf-csource.1.gz
 libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource

Added to debian/control Build-depends: ", libgtk2.0-dev"

Google for:

failed to load Couldn't recognize the image file format for file

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/077073.html suggests gdkpixbuf. Searched http://packages.ubuntu.com for it, added "libpngwriter0-dev" to Build-depends: doesn't cut it.

$ pbuilder-gutsy login
# apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
# cd home/
# gdk-pixbuf-csource --name="`basename addtr_18.png .png`" --struct addtr_18.png

# file addtr_18.png
addtr_18.png: PNG image data, 18 x 18, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

I stop here. It "just works" with a feisty pbuilder. No idea why.
