Re: Vala for Maemo development
 

I don't know WAF but using a Makefile, generallly, isn't a forced requirement of debian/ :)

This is just stuff OTOH and not guaranteed to be accurate but instead of $(MAKE), you'd use waf build and instead of $(MAKE) install, you'd use waf install --prefix=/usr --destdir=$(CURDIR)/debian/tear etc :)

midori package in debian uses waf btw :)

Re: Vala for Maemo development
 

Packaged it for Mer: http://trac.tspre.org/qwerty12/tear/

It's not going to help you directly as it uses debhelper 7 (compared to Diablo's 5) and it has some dirty tricks applied to it. I had to force quilt patching as it didn't seem to do it otherwise for some odd reason, and you have no include/wscript so I just install the required files from debian/rules.

I have done some minor things to save space though - tear.png is installed to /usr/share/pixmaps but it's then symlinked to the other folders as opposed to copying it again and the binary is stripped bringing it from ~700KB to ~300KB.

It's dirtily done but it does produce a working package.

Re: Vala for Maemo development
 

What do you mean by "you have no include/wscript"? :)

Re: Vala for Maemo development
 

Well, you install files into /usr/share/ (desktop file, service file, etc) that are from the include/ folder but you don't have a wscript covering those files so a waf install won't touch those files. I see that you install them with waf dist but it doesn't help me when it comes to doing it from debian/ :)

You can build the deb and then install it :p

Re: Vala for Maemo development
 

I'm not an expert on the innards of Debian packaging (why I wrote mud to make it easier for me ;-)). I'd start with what I know, which is probably the worst case scenario: invoke waf from the debian/rules makefile.

Re: Vala for Maemo development
 

Attaching libzeemote vapi, not very tested, patches welcome :)

This actually needs -lbluetooth -lpthread added on linking (I modified my libzeemote.pc to include them) because there's no direct bluez and pthread support in Vala.
