  • Building package exercise

    From Apostolos Kefalas@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 11 11:00:01 2022
    Hello,

    I am trying to create a Debian package for rtl-sdr based on Maitland 's work but
    I get the following error:

    $ debuild

    Can anyone please explain why debhelper uses dh_update_autotools_config and dh_autoreconf although buildsystem=cmake is specified?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I don't know the answer to that question, but if that's the only
    problem here, you can override it to do nothing:

    override_dh_autoreconf:
