How to build a .deb of 1.5.3 for Ubuntu

[Schuttwegraeumer]

Ok, this methode worked:

Code: Select all

scons wesnoth datadir=/usr/share/games/wesnoth
sudo checkinstall --install=no scons install

The path must be modified from /usr/share/games to /usr/share/games/wesnoth or to /usr/share/wesnoth because datadir is not the preset but the programm path.
The disadvantage of this methode is that the second line compiles the stuff again, but why?

Some weird scons bug causes some files to be recompiled during install. This bug won't occur if you do it like this:

Code: Select all

scons wesnoth datadir=/usr/share/games/wesnoth
sudo checkinstall --install=no scons install --implicit-deps-unchanged

Or you may skip compile stage altogether:

Code: Select all

sudo checkinstall --install=no scons wesnoth install datadir=/usr/share/games/wesnoth

This will both build and install.

Ahhhh, perfekt!!11

Ok, its too late for the last line because the compiling is on the way.
But the installing without recompiling won't take much time.
