Hi,

I am trying to compile on Ubuntu and getting the following error:

fakeroot debian/rules binary

# Move stuff around
mkdir -p debian/tmp/usr/share/pixmaps
mv debian/tmp/usr/share/vlc/vlc48x48.png debian/tmp/usr/share/pixmaps/vlc.png
mv debian/tmp/usr/share/vlc/vlc32x32.xpm debian/tmp/usr/share/vlc/vlc.xpm
# Install stuff
dh_install -si --fail-missing --sourcedir=debian/tmp
cp: cannot create regular file `debian/vlc//usr/bin/qvlc': Permission denied
dh_install: command returned error code 256
make: *** [install] Error 1

Can somebody on the forums please help.

Thanks,

Justin

does debian/vlc exist ? is it a directory? what's the rights on it ?

Same questions about debian/vlc/usr/bin/

you can download the debian source from vlc ppa mentioned on the downloads page. that contains the debian/ directory.

That not the questions I asked.

sorry misread it ... i seem to have some how resolved this issue, don't know how though.
