How to build deb? #67

Closed procount closed 4 years ago

procount commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to build this plugin myself (running on Ubuntu 14.04) so I can make a small amendment, but I'm unfamiliar with building deb files.

I downloaded the release tarball, and from within the openmedia-zfs-3.0.6 folder I ran fakeroot debian/rules clean binary

But it doesn't seem to build. Here is the output:

kevin@ubuntu ~/openmediavault-zfs-3.0.6 $ fakeroot debian/rules clean binary

It was also missing a debian/files file (?) I created a blank one, but is there supposed to be something in there? Where can I find the resultant deb file?

Thanks for some guidance.

Your version of ubuntu is too old. And why are you building such an old version of the plugin?

procount commented 4 years ago

Ah ok. What's the minimum version of Ubuntu I need? I'll spin up a new one. I just picked the latest version from releases and didn't notice it was from 2016! I guess I need to take the latest commit.

Or is there an easier way to do what I want - I just need to remove some dependencies. Can I just download the deb, edit the control file and zip it back up again? Where is the location of the latest deb file to download for OMV5?

ryecoaaron commented 4 years ago

Ideally you would build on Debian which is what OMV uses. OMV 5 is Debian 10.

What dependencies and why?

Probably easiest to read my post here -> https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/31103-Installing-OMV5-on-Raspberry-Pi4-with-ZFS/?postID=230117#post230123

See my response. You don't need to change the dependencies.

procount commented 4 years ago

I managed to build the latest deb from source and removed the dependencies, so I was able to install the OMV plugin without the zfs-dks modules and install it manually. It seems to work with my prebuilt zfs modules, so we'll see how things go... Thanks.
