[Qgis-developer] Re: build_debian_package.sh in qgis-unstable

[Neil Best]

Tim, thanks for your reply.  Another thing I tried with 
qgis_0.7.9+svn20060826 on Ubuntu Dapper:

~/src/qgis-unstable$ sudo ./doCheckInstall.sh

. . .

make[6]: Entering directory 
`/home/neil/src/qgis-unstable/src/widgets/projectionselector'
make[6]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/usr/local/lib/qgis" || mkdir -p -- . "/usr/local/lib/qgis"
true_fopen == 0 for fopen64("/proc/mounts", "r")
  /bin/sh ../../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 
'libqgsprojectionselector.la' 
'/usr/local/lib/qgis/libqgsprojectionselector.la'

****  Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.


Then I thought I would update:

neil at gandalf:~/src/qgis-unstable$ svn update
svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
neil at gandalf:~/src/qgis-unstable$ svn status
?      build-stamp
?      debian
?      nbest build notes
?      patch-stamp
?      doc-pak
   L    .
M      build_debian_package.sh
~      autom4te.cache
neil at gandalf:~/src/qgis-unstable$ svn cleanup
svn: 'autom4te.cache' is not a working copy directory


I only know enough about svn to be dangerous, so I looked through the 
docs and found out what '~' means, but couldn't see how to resolve it. 
The only thing I can think of is to rm -r and re-checkout.  What it is 
autom4te.cache and what should I have done about it?

Not giving up yet,

Neil
