    Re: Backport GnuCash 3.x from Debian to Bionic

    SO I created a new VM with bionic, copied Rik Mills' PPA version, and it built properly using dpkg-buildpackage (NOT sbuild or pbuilder)

    Every attempt to build Ubuntu versions in the sbuild environment I was using failed in the tests phase.

    The Debian versions built properly; just not the Ubuntu versions.

    MAYBE because the VM was a Debian Buster VM???? I don't see why.....
    There must be some weird things going on in the sbuild environments.

    But I am going to take this as a success. I just want to replicate it with a "properly constructed" debian package.

    Thumbs up Re: Backport GnuCash 3.x from Debian to Bionic

    Here is a TESTED & WORKING procedure for building GnuCash 3.7 on Ubuntu Bionic

    REQUIREMENTS
    An Ubuntu Bionic installation with bionic-backports activated. (I used a minimal Xubuntu VM for this setup)

    1) Create a source directory

    Code:
    $ mkdir bionic37
    $ cd bionic37
    2) Get the latest Ubuntu package

    Code:
    $ dget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/gnucash/1:3.7-1ubuntu1/gnucash_3.7-1ubuntu1.dsc
    2b) Move into the directory created by the source package

    Code:
    $ cd gnucash-3.7
    3) Comment out a build flag line in debian/rules so it will build in Bionic

    Code:
    $ sed -i 's/export DEB_CXXFLAGS/#export DEB_CXXFLAGS/' debian/rules
    4) Make this your custom version

    Code:
    $ dch --nmu
    4b) Edit the new version at the top so it reads something like gnucash (1:3.7-1ubuntu18.04~1)

    4c) Add a comment under your name saying something like "Commented out DEB_CXXFLAGS instruction in debian/rules"

    4d) Save and exit the editor.

    5) Upgrade debhelper

    Code:
    $ sudo apt install debhelper/bionic-backports
    6) Build the package

    Code:
    $ dpkg-buildpackage
    7) You will see the package files in the bionic37 directory, ready to install.
    Code:
    $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb *.ddeb
    
    $ sudo apt install -f
    The dpkg -i command attempts to install gnucash .deb files and the .ddeb debugging files. In a fresh installation, the dpkg -i command will fail because of missing dependencies, so the second command will install the missing dependencies and finish installing gnucash.

    Unhappy Re: Backport GnuCash 3.x from Debian to Bionic

    I am still trying to figure out why I can't get sbuild to work.

    $ sudo apt install ubuntu-dev-tools sbuild apt-cacher-ng auto-apt-proxy

    (the last one I haven't used before)

    $ sudo adduser twt sbuild

    log out and back in

    $ mk-sbuild bionic

    add backport to the build environment

    $ sudo schroot -c source:bionic-amd64 -u root

    (bionic-amd64) # cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
    (bionic-amd64) # cat > bionic-backports.list

    [paste the following two lines into the file, and then type ctrl-D]
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

    (bionic-amd64) # apt update ; apt upgrade
    ...
    (bionic-amd64) # exit


    Create a source directory

    $ mkdir bionicSbuild
    $ cd bionicSbuild

    Get the latest Ubuntu package

    $ dget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archiv...7-1ubuntu1.dsc

    $ cd gnucash-3.7

    Comment out a build flag line in debian/rules

    $ sed -i 's/export DEB_CXXFLAGS/#export DEB_CXXFLAGS/' debian/rules

    Make this a special version

    $ dch --nmu

    A: edit new version so it reads something like gnucash (1:3.7-1ubuntu18.04~sbuild)

    B: add comment under your name saying something like "Commented out DEB_CXXFLAGS instruction in debian/rules"

    C: save and exit the editor

    $ sbuild --build-dep-resolver=aptitude -c bionic-amd64



    the package build fails lots of tests

    Here are a few (snippets below)

    The following tests FAILED:

    $ sbuild --build-dep-resolver=aptitude -d bionic -c bionic-amd64 gnucash_3.7-1ubuntu18.04~sbuild.dsc
