Making a deb package where dh doesn't build the program
I am trying to make a debian package for my own application, using the PBuilder utility.
I cannot use dh, because the build process of my program is very specific. When I compile it, I must run qmake instead of the usual "./configure" and then make.
So I created my own "rules" script, but when I run pdebuild, it compiles and installs the files to the desired paths, but I end up with an error saying:
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute
My application is called Qtag, and this is my rules file:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
clean:
cd src; qmake
cd src; make clean
rm -f src/qtag
rm -f src/Makefile
build:
cd src; qmake
cd src; make
build-arch: build
build-indep: build
binary-arch: build-arch
mkdir -p $$(pwd)/debian/qtag/usr/bin
cp src/qtag $$(pwd)/debian/qtag/usr/bin
binary-indep: build-indep
mkdir -p $$(pwd)/debian/qtag/usr/share/pixmaps
mkdir -p $$(pwd)/debian/qtag/usr/share/applications
cp src/images/Qtag.png $$(pwd)/debian/qtag/usr/share/pixmaps
cp src/qtag.desktop $$(pwd)/debian/qtag/usr/share/applications
binary: binary-arch binary-indep
This is my "control" file:
Source: qtag
Section: unknown
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Karel Patlejch <kaja.patlejch@gmail.com>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), qt5-default, libtag1-dev
Standards-Version: 3.9.5
Homepage: http://github.com/amethystant/qtag
Package: qtag
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, libtag1-vanilla, libqt5core5a
Description: Audio tag editor
Qtag is a Qt-based audio tag editor. Supports ID3, Xiph Comments and more.
I use PBuilder and Debian 8
This is full output of pdebuild: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1mZWkkv-WWpMDBwbVNwRGV4ZVE/view?usp=sharing

Could you post yourpbuilderlog somewhere? It will be in a file called something likeqtag_...buildin the parent directory of your package directory.

You should still be able to usedh, because it is extensively customizable. Can you post a link to your project's source code?

@StephenKitt I can only upload it on Google Drive, but you have to download it if you want to view it. Here it is (I've also added it to the original post): drive.google.com/file/d/0B1mZWkkv-WWpMDBwbVNwRGV4ZVE/…
