It seems that so far no updates in Stretch did not cause breakage tdepim. Tip for installing necessary dependencies: apt-get build-dep tdepim-trinity Tip for building: in debian/rules you can find DEB_CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS == options, which are used to build on Debian / Ubuntu. -- Slávek

If you just want a simple build, you can try this: 1) clone the required module (tdepim) 2) clone the packaging info from the tde-packaging repo for the same module. This contains debian related compiling stuff. 3) copy the debian folder from 2) to 1) 4) fakeroot debian/rules build. This will compile everything but will not build any .deb package at the end. This way though you are still missing out on dependency check, so if any of the required packages is not available on your system, the compilation will most likely fails. Just for info, Debian/Ubuntu have their own way and their own tools to easy compiling, building and packaging stuff. I strongly encourage you to spend a little bit of time to learn those things, you will get a lot of benefits once you understand that ;-) Cheers Michele

Building from source and then creating packages requires a lot of work. Debian/Ubuntu provides tools that automate most of it, you just need to learn a few basic commands. See here for some intro: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html Usually you build with dpkg-buildpackage or pbuilder, these are programs that take care of everything (config, checking dependencies, compiling, packaging, linting, ....). Moreover with pbuilder you can quickly build in a clean chroot environment, making sure you always build everything correctly. It is really worth spending the time required to learn to compile/build in the Debian way, you will save much more time later on. Cheers Michele
