Fritzing package does not build in Launchpad

Asked by Enrique Hernández Bello

Hello,

my recipe for Fritzing project fails to build at any Ubuntu releases since some time ago. However I never had any errors building in my machines.

I recive a rarely error of qmake but I don't use it directly. I import qmake.mk from cdbs in rules file.

Can somebody review the buildlog and tellme why it is failing?

Thank you.

hi please have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto which should help you with the build in a clean environment like launchpad.

Wrong answer...

I already use pbuilder with cowdancer for my tests. I emphasize that I can build my package correctly for all specified Ubuntu releases.

I guess that It must be a problem of Launchpad build system.

It's not a problem with the Launchpad build system; we build thousands of packages which use qmake fine. Your package (perhaps through qmake.mk) is invoking qmake incorrectly:

...
mkdir -p "."
cd . && qmake 'QMAKE_CC = cc' 'QMAKE_CXX = g++' 'QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -g -O2 -g -O2' 'QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = -g -O2 -g -O2'
Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on

I have no problem neither running that qmake command in my machine nor building fritzing under pbuilder environment.

My package does not include upstream code and I guess that launchpad's recipes does not download the tarball using uscan before build.

How can I change this behaviour without upload upstream code?

Recipes grab the code from a bzr branch. They can't run uscan, as there's no Internet access during builds. See https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes for recipe documentation.

If the code can't be imported into a bzr branch, you can't use a recipe and you'll have to upload a source package yourself. See https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage.
