Topic: dpkg-shlibdeps Problem building deb Package

Hello everyone,

maybe someone can give me a hint what I am missing but I have a problem getting libnfc build in a package. I am running a Ubuntu 10.04 system and I follow the steps described at this link: http://www.libnfc.org/documentation/installation
I would like to create a package, so here are the steps I performed:

wget hxxp://libnfc.googlecode.com/files/libnfc-1.5.1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libnfc-1.5.1.tar.gz
cd libnfc-1.5.1/
svn checkout hxxp://libnfc.googlecode.com/svn/tags/libnfc-1.5.1/debian
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

I some point of the last step, I get the following error:

   ...
   dh_strip
   dh_makeshlibs
   dh_shlibdeps
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.so.1 (used by debian/libnfc2/usr/lib/libnfc.so.2.0.0).
dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/libnfc2.substvars debian/libnfc2/usr/lib/libnfc.so.2.0.0 returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary] Error 9
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I tried to fix that with a file "shlibs.local" but I am not quite sure where to put it neither what the content should be. So far I tried to put it in the folder "libnfc-1.5.1/debian" as well as in "libnfc-1.5.1/"
As content I tried

libpcsclite 2 libnfc

and

libpcsclite 2 libnfc.so.2.0.0

unfortunatelly without success ... sad

When I am doing pcscd -v I get the following:

pcsc-lite version 1.8.2.

Enabled features: Linux i686-pc-linux-gnu serial usb libudev usbdropdir=/usr/local/lib/pcsc/drivers ipcdir=/var/run/pcscd configdir=/usr/local/etc/reader.conf.d

So I assume libpcsclite is installed, and libusb-config --version gives me 0.1.12, what also should be fine.

sudo apt-get install libusb-dev libpcsclite-dev
sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4 libpcsclite1 libccid pcscd

tells me everything is already the newest version ...

Does anyone has an idea?

Re: dpkg-shlibdeps Problem building deb Package

So, hello everyone
at least I was able to get the shlibs.local thing straight. Here is was I did:

cd libnfc-1.5.1/
touch ./debian/shlibs.local
echo libpcsclite 1 libnfc >> ./debian/shlibs.local
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

Now the package building finishes on a terminal promt again but I still get some wired messages:

dh_strip
   dh_makeshlibs
   dh_shlibdeps

dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload - not including any source code
dpkg-buildpackage: binary only upload (no source included)

Can anyone confirm this or give me a hint was is wrong ?

[Edit]
So I tried to install (sudo dpkg -i ../libnfc*.deb) these packages but due to some strange dependancies it seems not successfull.

Thats why I tried another way:

cd libnfc-1.5.1
./configure --enable-debug --enable-doc
make clean
make all

Now I can run ./utils/nfc-list and my SCL3711 reader is found and (!) the blank MiFare Card is read big_smile yeah tongue

Hello,

I replay your scenario and don't have any problem to build package using 1.5.1 on my Ubuntu 11.10.
