Utility to build Debian package from Eclipse binary distribution.
There are two ways of installing Eclipse Package: Installation of the stable or latest version. The stable version is distributed through the PM Code Works APT repository and is fully tested but does not contain the latest changes.
Add PM Code Works repository
-
Debian 9:
~# echo "deb http://apt.pm-codeworks.de stretch main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pm-codeworks.list
-
Debian 10:
~# echo "deb http://apt.pm-codeworks.de buster main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pm-codeworks.list
Add PM Code Works signing key
~# wget -qO - http://apt.pm-codeworks.de/pm-codeworks.de.gpg | apt-key add -
~# apt-get update
Install the package
~# apt-get install eclipse-package
The latest version contains the latest changes that may not have been fully tested and should therefore not be used productively. It is recommended to install the stable version.
Install required packages for building
~# apt-get install git devscripts equivs
Clone this repository
~$ git clone https://github.com/philippmeisberger/eclipse-package.git
Build the package
~$ cd ./eclipse-package/
~$ sudo mk-build-deps -i debian/control
~$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
Install the package
~# dpkg -i ../eclipse-package*.deb
Download Eclipse .tar.gz archive file from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/ and execute make-eclipsepkg
with the downloaded file as argument. The Debian package is built in the current directory.
Install package
~# dpkg -i eclipse*.deb
Finally install missing dependencies
~# apt-get install -f
