Problem in making .deb package

[jeyaganesh]

Hi,
I am trying to make .deb package for Flock 2 beta 2 version. This is my first time to make .deb package. I followed instruction from this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003.
But at last step, I got the following error message.

jay@jay-desktop:~/Packages/flock-2.0b2$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value:
dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
dpkg-buildpackage: source package flock
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 2.0b2-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by jay <@.com>

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: build-essential
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)


Should I change anything more in 'rules' file as mentioned in that forum?
Please help me. Thanks in advance!

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: build-essential

you probably have to install the package "build-essential" first.

Hi, How to install the particular package's build essential?

Hi, How to install the particular package's build essential?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

(this is assuming you have an active internet connection)
Otherwise you could install by Ubuntu CD:

sudo apt-cdrom add
sudo apt-get install build-essential

[jeyaganesh]

After doing build essential, it shows the following error,

I used 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' command from the extracted Flock directory where 'debian' folder is created during the packaging. Is that right?

Try using sudo

sudo dpkg-buildpackage

[jeyaganesh]

Little improvement, there are two files created - .diff.gz and .dsc. New error message is,

root@jay-desktop:/home/jay/Packages/flock-2.0b2# sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

I used the 'rules' file without any modification. I think I have give commands for configure, clean and install as mentioned in the original post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003

Commands for configure, clean and install are './configure', 'make clean' and 'sudo make install' respectively. Is that right?

Thank you very much for your help.
