Script for packaging a .deb

i'am work on new sound theme for os2008.

i follow the very nice HowTo for here

http://synthesize.us/HOWTO_make_a_de...e_without_dpkg

Like you see, is a script for make a .deb package...

But i dont understand how to run properly this script.

+ i'am a french guy but iam suppose to be good in english...

here is a code supposing to be a script :

Code:

#!/bin/bash



# This script should be run from within the directory with the wav files.



# First, create the empty tree under a new "build" directory

# (the name "build" is completely arbitrary here)

mkdir -p build/usr/share/sounds/



# Put the sounds in the sounds directory

cp -v ui-*.wav build/usr/share/sounds/



# move into the build directory, make a docs directory

cd build

mkdir -p usr/share/doc/your-package-name



# write the README file

cat > usr/share/doc/your-package-name/README <<END

This package provides replacement sound effects for Maemo.



It moves the original sounds aside using dpkg-divert(8), and 

restores them upon uninstallation.

Re: Script for packaging a .deb

Hi
every line that starts with # is a comment and is not run by the script

it looks like you are suppose to save this script in the same directory as your .wav files

open a terminal and cd into the directory where you saved the script
chmod +x script
./script
the script as-is will make a package named "your-package-name" so you will want to change that

Re: Script for packaging a .deb

i put a vista folder in /home/user/
in this folder i put my script.sh file and 19 sounds .wav

Re: Script for packaging a .deb

script is the script name; so if it's script.sh, try:

Code:

chmod +x script.sh

Also, you need to be in the correct directory for this to work. Use the cd command to change directory:

For example:

Code:

cd /path/to/correct/directory/

Re: Script for packaging a .deb

Code:

1: /home/user/vista # chmod +x script.sh

2: /home/user/vista # chmod +x script

3: chmod: script: No such file or directory

Line 1 succeeded, hence no errors.
Line 2 failed, because you're trying to add permissions to "script", which doesn't exist.
Line 3 is the error message.

Since line 1 succeeded, you should now be able to run your script.

When you're in the same directory as the script type

Code:

./script.sh

This will work if you have the bash shell installed. If you don't have that, you might need to modify the first line of your script from

Code:

#!/bin/bash

Code:

#!/bin/sh

i know maybe something wrong in the script...
or i dont have application for manage .ar...

Re: Script for packaging a .deb

A little Terminal work can give us some guidance:

Code:

~ $ ar # see if ar is installed on my system

Usage: ar [emulation options] [-]{dmpqrstx}[abcfilNoPsSuvV] [member-name] [count] archive-file file...

       ar -M [<mri-script]

 commands:

  d            - delete file(s) from the archive

  m[ab]        - move file(s) in the archive

  p            - print file(s) found in the archive

  q[f]         - quick append file(s) to the archive

  r[ab][f][u]  - replace existing or insert new file(s) into the archive

  t            - display contents of archive

  x[o]         - extract file(s) from the archive

 command specific modifiers:

  [a]          - put file(s) after [member-name]

  [b]          - put file(s) before [member-name] (same as [i])

  [N]          - use instance [count] of name

  [f]          - truncate inserted file names

  [P]          - use full path names when matching

  [o]          - preserve original dates

  [u]          - only replace files that are newer than current archive contents

 generic modifiers:

  [c]          - do not warn if the library had to be created

  [s]          - create an archive index (cf. ranlib)

  [S]          - do not build a symbol table

  [v]          - be verbose

  [V]          - display the version number

  @<file>      - read options from <file>

 emulation options:

  No emulation specific options

ar: supported targets: elf32-littlearm elf32-bigarm elf32-little elf32-big srec symbolsrec tekhex binary ihex

~ $ which ar # find where the ar executable is

/usr/bin/ar

~ $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/ar # see which package it belongs to

binutils: /usr/bin/ar

You should now install binutils:

Code:

# apt-get install binutils

The pound sign above (instead of a dollar sign) indicates you need to be root to do that.

how i can instal binutils properly???

Re: Script for packaging a .deb

OK, I'm guessing a bit here, but I think you need to install the diablo/tools repository. try to install this.

After installing that repository, try to install binutils again. After you install binutils, disable that repository. You can do that in the Application Manager.
