[opennms-devel] Trouble building Debian packages

Hi,

I'm having real trouble building Debian packages for the ancillary
programs needed for OpenNMS (iplike and jicmp). The main opennms built
fine with the appropriate debian directory and a "dpkg-buildpackage
-rfakeroot -b". However when I try that on the other bits they fail on
me:

16:30 ajb@pitcairn/x86_64 [jicmp.svn] >dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value:
dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
dpkg-buildpackage: source package jicmp
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 1.0.8-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Benjamin Reed <[email protected]>

touch debian/stamp-autotools-files
chmod a+x /export/src/opennms/jicmp/jicmp.svn/build-tree/jicmp-1.0.8/configure
chmod: cannot access `/export/src/opennms/jicmp/jicmp.svn/build-tree/jicmp-1.0.8/configure': No such file or directory
make: *** [build-tree/jicmp-1.0.8/config.status] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

As you can see it creates a build tree and attempts and then fails
because it's empty. Am I meant to be creating a src tarball before I run
my build or should I just be able to build with some other magic
invocation?

I'm not that familiar with Debian packaging but I thought it was
possible to build "straight from source"?
