Subject: dh_auto_clean: warning: ant does not support building out of source tree

Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:34:46 -0600

Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.4

xz-utils fails to build from source on kfreebsd-i386 [1]:

| dh_auto_clean --builddirectory debian/xzdec-build
| dh_auto_clean: warning: ant does not support building out of source tree. In source building enforced.
| Can't exec "ant": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 179.
| dh_auto_clean: ant clean failed to to execute: No such file or directory
| make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_clean] Error 2

All very sensible, except xz-utils does not use an ant buildfile.

If there is any more information I can provide, please let me know.

Build system detection is totally broken, many other packages FTBFS
because “ant” is “detected, while it can't be executed (neither being
in the chroots, or in Build-Depends).

Update the title accordingly so that people can hopefully jump to this
bug instead of opening dozens of duplicates. Sorry for not having done
that with the previous mail.

Mraw,
KiBi.

tag 557006 patch
thanks

This seems to fix the problem I'm facing for non-ant packages. And a
random test (libjgoodies-looks-java) seems to show it's ok for ant
packages.

Mraw,
KiBi.
