No, it always starts with a freshly bootstrapped clean and virgin
virtual ubuntu server, I have no other influence than specifying build
dependencies in the source package and maybe some ugly hackish
trickery in my "all" target. Here is the complete log:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/117046564/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.laz-launchpad-example_1.0.2-ppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz



here is my Makefile:


# this will be the name of our ubuntu package
PACKAGENAME = laz-launchpad-example

# you need a new UPSTREAMVERSION everytime you try a new upload to
# launchpad because this will be considered the version of the
# upstream .orig.tar.gz and since we basically *are* upstream and indeed
# have changed upstream sources we also need a new uptream version number
UPSTREAMVERSION = 1.0.2
FULLDEBVERSION = $(UPSTREAMVERSION)-ppa1
DESCRIPTION = demo package
EXDESCRIPTION = extended description may not be empty
AUTHOR = Bernd Kreuss
COPYRIGHT = 2012 $(AUTHOR)

# this must be the same email address used in launchpad AND in the gpg key!
# make ubuntu_upload will ask for passphrase to sign the source package
# and after uploading launchpad will check the signature to authenticate you

LICENSE = GPL-2
LICENSE2 = /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2

# more tweaking can be done by directly altering the code
# that creates the debian/* files near the end of this makefile

DISTRIBUTION = precise
BUILD_DEPENDS = lazarus, lcl-utils, debhelper (>= 8)

EXENAME = project1
LPINAME = project1.lpi

# this assumes that there exists a build mode "Release"
all:
	#lazbuild --build-mode=Release $(LPINAME)

# clean will remove all compiled files
clean:
	$(RM) -r lib
	$(RM) $(EXENAME)
	$(RM) *.res

	$(RM) -r DEBUILD


# install all the files into their final destinations. This should
# work without debuild (for testing or normal install without .deb)
# and also work when called during debuild (debuild will also set
# the $(DESTDIR) variable to install into a fakeroot) so don't forget
# to prefix all destination paths with $(DESTDIR) and also don't forget
# to install with -D so that it will create missing directories.
install:

# make ubuntu_src does everything needed to create a debian source package.
# It will create a BUILDEB directory, copy the entire source there,
# make the .orig.tar.gz tarball from it and then call itself again from
# within this new location to make the debian files and all the rest.
# after this has completed you can call make ubuntu_upload
ubuntu_src: _copyorig

# make ubuntu_bin is similar to ubuntu_src but it makes a binary package
# this should be used to debug the build proces, test the .deb but it
# can not be used to produce the source package. Use this only for
# debugging. Use ubuntu_src instead to produce the launchpad upload files.
ubuntu_bin: _copyorig
	$(MAKE) -C DEBUILD/$(SRCDIRNAME) _ubuntu_bin

# after you have run make ubuntu_src (and confirmed that all is ok)
# you call make ubuntu_upload which will then sign your source package
# and upload it to your ppa. It will first ask you for your gpg
# passphrase twice to sign the two files (.dsc and .changes) and then
# upload them using dput. You don't need your launchpad password,
# launchpad will authenticate you by your gpg signature, launchpad will
# send you a notification email to inform you about errors or success.
