  • dh-cmake writing to /usr instead of fakeroot?

    From Elliana May@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 19 06:10:02 2024
    Hey folks,

    I'm currently trying to package DuckDB for a PPA on launchpad, and though
    I've been able to get it building via buildsystem=cmake+ninja, the install steps fail with permission errors regardless of what I try.
    Right now, it seems to try to install to /usr regardless of what settings I pass, and Launchpad seems to leave CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set to /usr (as
    does fakeroot?).

    You can see a failure here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/714820377/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-arm64.duckdb_0.10.0_BUILDING.txt.gz

    I haven't done any packaging like this before, so any help is very
    appreciated

    Many thanks,
    Elliana

    That build log is pointing to a missing debhelper build-dependency.

    Sorry, I have a few tabs open, this is the correct one:

    https://launchpadlibrarian.net/715071071/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.duckdb_0.10.0-10_BUILDING.txt.gz

    I've tried now overriding the override_dh_auto_configure rule in the debian/rules file, but even that seems to not be making a difference:

    [2/3] Install the project...
    -- Install configuration: "Release"
    CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:66 (file):
    file cannot create directory: /usr/local/lib/cmake/DuckDB. Maybe need
    administrative privileges.

    Many thanks,
    Elliana

    The upstream code seems to be installing during the "build"
    (dh_auto_build), whereas the Debian tooling expects this to happen in a separate "install" step (dh_auto_install). This may be related since dh_auto_build does not set any form of dest-dir but dh_auto_install does.

    Consider it a possible hint for what to look for. That is what I can
    give you from the 5 minutes I had to look at this.

    Best regards,
    Niels

    This did the trick, thank you!

    Turns out using ExternalProject_Add in a CMakeLists.txt to build the
    binaries defaulted to running the installation as part of the build stage, which is obviously not what I wanted

    Many thanks,
