I tried checkinstall too, but that had issues: apparently the Ardour2 scons target tries
to make symlinks for /usr/bin/gcc, and dpkg rightly refused to allow it to something so
dangerous.
THIS IS NOT TRUE.
its also the 2nd time that its been claimed. please either point to the
line in our scons build system where this happens, or stop claiming that
it does.
No need to shout. I was claiming it because it was in fact happening. It may be a bug in
checkinstall though, and not in scons or in your build. But it's definitely there:
$ cd ardour-2.0.2
$ checkinstall
<answer prompts to build package>
$ dpkg-deb -c ../ardour_2.0.2-1_amd64.deb

Weird.
I am very disappointed to hear that the Debian package is using
SYSLIBS=1. This means that we will refuse to support any Debian users
that have issues with Ardour. The Debian packager(s) have been told
about this in the past, and we made the consequences of their choices
clear.
It looks like the latest Sid package no longer uses SYSLIBS=1, so I guess you were heard.
I still think that The Right Thing would be to find and fix the problem with the system
libs, rather than just bypassing them. But if SYSLIBS=0 works, then that's probably
good enough. FYI, I'm pretty sure that the ardour 0.99 package used the system libs,
and worked fine.
