- GNU/Linux distribution: Debian unstable
Bug/Feature
I followed instructions for Ubuntu to install Eolie via checkinstall but I ran into 2 issues.
1. Invalid version
# checkinstall
checkinstall 1.6.2, Copyright 2009 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran

Not a big one but I thought it would be better to report it anyway
2. checkinstall failed due to missing directories.
Basically I had various errors:
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/eolie/'
/bin/mkdir: impossible de créer le répertoire « /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages »: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
Makefile:424 : la recette pour la cible « install-appPYTHON » a échouée
Which was fixed by manually running:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages
And latter:
libtool: install: chmod 644 /usr/local/share/eolie/webkitextension/libpythonloader.a
libtool: install: ranlib /usr/local/share/eolie/webkitextension/libpythonloader.a
ranlib: could not create temporary file whilst writing archive: No more archived files
Makefile:442 : la recette pour la cible « install-webkitextensionLTLIBRARIES » a échouée
Which was fixed (thanks to this article) by the same thing:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/eolie/webkitextension
Don't know if it's specific to debian (which is not the one you support) but at least it may help others to figure this out.
