Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Creating debian packages

 

Hello,

What is the current procedure to create .deb package? Both CMake and automake return


make: *** No rule to make target `debian-package'.  Stop.

if I try to create it according to the instruction at https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBinary.html .

 

 

I got this from a college recently:

 

2) The whole build architecture for the Debian based systems have changed in Wireshark. Previously, I was used to build wireshark with the "make debian-package" command. Now, the INSTALL file refers to another mechanism:

10/b. If you 're running a system that supports APT (Debian/Ubuntu/etc.)
   run

        dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot

   in the source directory right after extracting of checking out
   Wireshark's source code. (You don't have to run configure/make/etc.
   prior to running dpkg-buildpackage)
