Hello ,
i did compile a program i like to use on my laptop very often;
now i would like to "save" it for future use on other laptop withouth the need of compiling the program there again.
Is this possible?
Can i make a .deb file out of a compiled program or is this difficult?
The program in question is MPV and was being built using mpv-build scripts.
thank you very much for your help and inputs.

Re: Compiled MPV for Debian Wheezy / How to make .deb
i assume op compiled a much newer version of mpv.Bulkley wrote:what's the point of doing your own compiling?
this matters in the case of mpv, because it has been under very heavy development in recent years. the version in wheezy is likely next to useless.
that said, i think the debian wiki has an article on creating debs.

It sounds like "checkinstall" would be perfect for what you want to do:
https://wiki.debian.org/CheckInstall
https://www.linux.com/learn/easy-packag ... eckinstall
I just learned of it recently and it worked like a charm in installing my compiled package to my bevy of laptops.

Did you have to disable DRM for a recent MPV to build on Wheezy, and what else did you have to do?

Re: Compiled MPV for Debian Wheezy / How to make .deb
yes, i had to disable it , plus git checkout libass ,
git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
cd mpv-build
./update
./clean
cd libass
git checkout 9a2b38e8f5957418362e86b525f72794565deedd
cd ..
echo --disable-drm >> mpv_options
./build -j2
sudo ./build install
git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
cd mpv-build
./update
./clean
cd libass
git checkout 9a2b38e8f5957418362e86b525f72794565deedd
cd ..
echo --disable-drm >> mpv_options
./build -j2
sudo ./build install

Thank you for your answers , i currently upgraded to Stretch and on older T60 i am using Lubuntu 14.04 (with Alsa only) so no Debian wheezy atm .
The Debian build for mpv is not functioning properly on Jessie , with Stretch it is ok. /(Best bet is to use Debian Multimedia for Mpv , and with L(ubuntu) to use PPA.)

If there's a Trusty version in the PPA, odds are high that it can be rebuilt from the PPA sources for Wheezy, but might require some extra tweaks.
