Trouble building on Debian 8

[mdeguzis]

Details:

This project builds and links with the manual steps in the readme, but the build system choices here don't work with dpkg-buildpackage

• OS: Debian 8 / SteamOS

What could be going wrong here?

Hey. Apologies for not answering sooner.

The issue here is that dpkg-buildpackage is a bit too strict in what's allowed in the code (I say 'too strict', but I really mean that d64ex is not up to snuff). It'll take a while to fix all issues.

[mdeguzis]

Thank you for acknowledging this. I'll build locally for now. Will the project (now that it seems be back in gear) have any milestones listed for this? Anything to check back on for this?

[pinkwah]

Yes. I intend to set up a build server that can generate .deb's, among other things. This will be fixed before a proper release.

I'll keep you posted.

[mdeguzis]

I'll continue to keep building myself still, to ensure everything is smooth on SteamOS with the available package pool
