I am learning to create a deb package, I find this: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html and follow it

1 sudo apt-get install build-essential

2 wget -O hello-2.7.tar.gz "http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.7.tar.gz"

3 tar xf hello-2.7.tar.gz cd hello-2.7

4 ./configure make make install

5 starting a package bzr dh-make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz

6 cd hello/debian rm *ex *EX

7 vi debian/changelog

root@vhost100:~/hello/debian# cat changelog
hello (2.7-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  • Initial release (Closes: #nnnn)

    -- root Tue, 19 Jul 2016 18:28:11 +0800

8 bzr add debian/source/format bzr commit -m "Initial commit of Debian packaging."

9 bzr builddeb -- -us -uc

I got error

are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: autotools-dev dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.) debuild: fatal error at line 1350: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed bzr: ERROR: The build failed.

What is wrong?

I'd guess it could do with sudo apt-get install autotools-dev dpkg-buildpackage - I am not an expert, but I think that is what it is looking for. Check they both exist via apt-cache search autotools-dev etc first if you like. – halfer
i installed autotools-dev,it is ok,thanks – qin peter

As per the comments, it looks like this part of your error was pertinent:

Unmet build dependencies: autotools-dev dpkg-buildpackage

I had suggested that both of these needed to be installed using apt-get, and you found that in fact only the first one was needed.

Pleased it works!
