Debian Build issues with twinkle

[Mark Purcell]

Michel,

Had a few issues with the Debian builds.

1. Your configure{.in} presumes that qmake is available under 
$(QTDIR)/bin/qmake, which isn't true for Debian.

        ])

-$QTDIR/bin/qmake -o src/gui/Makefile src/gui/twinkle.pro
+/usr/bin/qmake -o src/gui/Makefile src/gui/twinkle.pro
 echo "distdir:" >> src/gui/Makefile

 # Strip the -O2 flag from CXXFLAGS for building the SIP parser.

Perhaps some sort of test for qmake would be better, rather than hardcoding as 
I have done above.

2. I noticed for 3.2 that the build-depends have grown from what is detailed 
in the documentation.  For the Debian package I am using:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), autotools-dev, libcommoncpp2-dev 
(>=1.3.10-4), libccrtp-dev (>=1.3.4), help2man, libqt-mt-dev (>= 3:3.3.4-4), 
qt3-apps-dev, automake1.9, libxml2-dev, cdbs, kdelibs-bin, kdelibs4-dev, 
libasound2-dev, libxml2-dev

In particular I had to add the kde, asound and xml2 depends.

3. As you might be aware we currently build Debian packages across 11 
architectures so it is very good for checking conformant code.

The Buildd logs for all debian builds for twinkle are available here:

http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=twinkle

Of note, now that powerpc and others are building, is that ia64, sparc and 
alpha are still failing.

ia64/ alpha:

exit 1; fi
> stun.cxx: In function 'int stunRand()':
> stun.cxx:680: error: 'gethrtime' was not declared in this scope

4. I'm also looking in the longer term to be able to use system supplied 
libgsm, rather than those included and statically linked within twinkle.  
Have you modified the gsmlib or can system defaults be used safely?
