make package does not create Debian package

[riban-bw]

Running cmake -D ENABLE_TESTS=0 .. then make then make package on a Debian based system, e.g. raspbian does not create .deb pacakge. Instead it creates:

• audiowaveform-1.6.0-Linux.sh
• audiowaveform-1.6.0-Linux.tar.gz
• audiowaveform-1.6.0-Linux.tar.Z
• install_manifest.txt

If I remove the condition within CMakeLists.txt to force it to build the deb package, subsequent attempt to install give errors:

Unpacking audiowaveform (1.6.0) over (1.6.0) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of audiowaveform:
 audiowaveform depends on libboost-program-options (>= 1.54.0); however:
  Package libboost-program-options is not installed.
 audiowaveform depends on libboost-filesystem (>= 1.54.0); however:
  Package libboost-filesystem is not installed.
 audiowaveform depends on libboost-regex (>= 1.54.0); however:
  Package libboost-regex is not installed.

I don't think these are dependencies as I have it running without these packages installed. (The packages do not actually exist hence the errors / warnings.)

It's creating the wrong files because the SystemInfo.cmake script doesn't recognise Raspbian (or Debian actually). That should be easy to fix.

The Debian libboost packages include the version number, so libboost-program-options should possibly be libboost-program-options1.74.0 (or whatever the actual version is). This probably means CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS in CMakeLists.txt needs adjusting.

[riban-bw]

OF_DISTRO_IS_DEBIAN is being set but make package is still not creating .deb package.

I've just pushed a change that updates CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS. Please let me know if this works OK for you!

It now builds the package but won't install:

dpkg -i audiowaveform_1.6.0-1_armhf.deb

I've pushed another update. This should be working now.

Yep! Thanks!
