I am trying to build an Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat package using the git version of xbmc.

I did

Code:

git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
cd xbmc/tools/Linux/packaging
dpkg-buildpackage

I get the following error:

Code:

Can anybody help me building this package? Does anybody know how to fix the "dh: Unknown sequence configure"?

Thanks in advance!

Try this:
creates a symbolic link in the xbmc directory created by git:
1) ln -s xbmc/tools/Linux/packaging/debian debian
2) Edit the changelog file in debian directory and enter your details and a dummy version of svn higher than 35648.
3) In direcory xbmc run:
. /bootstrap; ./configure; dpkg-buildpackage-b-j2 (depending on your rocessor)
4) Finally it should generate the files. deb in the parent directory.

Problems:
since been transferred in the development branch on git, did not find an alternative way to create debian packages for installation. There is no way to have a changelog file showing a significant progress git version of the development branch.
