Hi,

I'd like to be able to compile a package from source (ghemical, FWIW) so
that I can add so additional parameters not normally included which will
enhance the app for my purposes. The enhancements are part of the
upstream distribution (an interface with GAMESS).

Is there a way to do this using apt-get? Something which might be done
in the middle of a sequence like:

apt-get build-dep ghemical ; apt-get -b source ghemical

What would have to be added are the config parameters "--enable-gamess
--enable-shortcuts"

Thanks for any with this!

I think you should have a look at
$ ./configure --
and add or modify the relevant options in <pkg-source>/debian/rules
(look for CFLAGS). Then build everything using dpkg-buildpackage.

That's the general thought I had--I guess I need to look for an apt-get
option which goes through the process up to the point of actually
building the package (some sort of "download and unpack, but then stop")
then a way to restart after the rules file modification...

Is there anything complicated about the process after getting the build
dependencies beyond simply DL'ing the source package (e.g. does some
other package have to come with it)?

I frequently do this with couple of packages. For example, I would like
to have readline support, history support in gnuplot. So I recompile it
myself in a "debianized way". The step-by-step instructions as to how I
do it can be found at

This looks exactly like what I am trying to do. Thanks, Kamaraju!

Now to wait for the missing dependencies to show up...
