compiling nautilus-dropbox for powerpc

#1 Post by ricanlinux »

I am wanting to get be able to upload and get stuff from dropbox on my powerpc install of wheezy. Debian does not have the app for powerpc machine in stable or tersting. There is a thunar extension in sid but i do not want to risk breaking my system so I decided to grab the wheezy source and compile myself. I am sure I have all the dependancies however I am I am getting this error. I tried searching for a soulution but the internet has not helped me. see below

It appears you need a version of cdbs installed that provides those files:

Code: Select all

debian/rules:2: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk: No such file or directory
debian/rules:3: /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/cmake.mk: No such file or directory
The wheezy version does have those.

This points to some issue, since debuild will check for those build-deps. What is listed in your debian/control file?

You have an odd debian/rules file; I looked at the debian wheezy one, and it does not mention the cdbs .mk files:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
	dh $@ --with=python2,autoreconf

override_dh_autoreconf:
	dh_autoreconf --as-needed

override_dh_makeshlibs:
	# Don't generate a shlibs file for the plugin
	dh_makeshlibs -X/usr/lib/nautilus/

override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install
	# Drop useless files
	rm -f debian/nautilus-dropbox/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-*/libnautilus-dropbox.a
	rm -f debian/nautilus-dropbox/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-*/libnautilus-dropbox.la
So you have to find out why your files are different.

my debian/rules file is the same as the one you posted

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
	dh $@ --with=python2,autoreconf

override_dh_autoreconf:
	dh_autoreconf --as-needed

override_dh_makeshlibs:
	# Don't generate a shlibs file for the plugin
	dh_makeshlibs -X/usr/lib/nautilus/

override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install
	# Drop useless files
	rm -f debian/nautilus-dropbox/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-*/libnautilus-dropbox.a
	rm -f debian/nautilus-dropbox/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-*/libnautilus-dropbox.la

The build log in your first post is saying that's not the case:

Code: Select all

debian/rules:2: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk: No such file or directory
debian/rules:3: /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/cmake.mk: No such file or directory
It's saying those are lines 2 and 3 of the rules file.

Anyway, you would not get dropbox to work, anyway, because every version in Debian is broken, plus I don't think Dropbox ever compiled a powerpc version of their software. The Debian nautilus-dropbox used to download the i386 or amd64 client from the Net, but Dropbox has changed.

See: http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 04&t=37555

I use copy.com myself, but their client is Intel-based only, too. You probably could use their web interface. Or an open-source alternative to Dropbox.

Well that stinks to hear! I am trying to transfer video and photo files from my iphone to my powerbook. I am able to mount and transfer music to using the tutorial on the Debia wiki. However I cannot transfer my vidoes I made on my iphone. I found out that I can send them to google drive and pull them from there, but I am looking for other ways. I think I can also set up an Own Clound server to do it. Just trying to see what my options are. Thanks again for all your help.
