[GRASS5] [bug #2662] (grass) 5.7 debianization : libtiff3g-dev is no longer availalable in debian/sid

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2662
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: 5.7 debianization : libtiff3g-dev is no longer availalable in debian/sid

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: Mirror of Trento site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.7.0

Hello,
  
I'd downloaded the 5.7 sources from
http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass57/source/
[The source package is time-stamped, there "17-Jun-2004"]
  
It was great to see that there's already a 'debian' directory in the
unpacked GRASS 5.7 sources.
  
I tried to 'debuild' 5.7, then (using debian/sid, locally).
  
The debian 'control' file for 5.7 includes a build-dependency on
libtiff3g-dev
  
It appears that there is no longer a libtiff3g-dev in debian/sid
  
As an attempt at a workaround, I've adjusted the "libtiff3g-dev" build
dependency, locally, to be "libtiff3g-dev| libtiff4-dev"; I'm not entirely
sure if it'll build, now, but I'm certainly hopeful
  
Thank you

Hi Sean,

I have updated the control file.

Please let me recommend to get the CVS snapshot as
it is much more advanced than 5.7.0 (we'll get out a new
release in near future). Just to avoid that you waste time
on problems which have been already solved.

Cheers

nope, it has been superseded. use libtiff4-dev, works fine.

see also pre-made .deb for 5.7.0:
