Thank you for the hint. I would like to use the opensuse build service
also for Ubuntu 7.10 and Debian-Etch. The first problem seems to be that
I need to know the exact package name for wxWidgets in order to setup
dependencies correctly. I figured this out for Debian (libwxgtk2.6 and
libwxgtk2.6-dev) however there I get the following error from the build
service:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
----- building holtz-Debian_Etch.spec (user abuild)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See
README.Debian.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory
(2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

That was the point where I stopped and therefore am trying to find
someone who knows how to deal with that.
Regarding Ubuntu 7.10 I still don't know the exact package names.

kind regards,

Martin
