Resolution of Failure to build mlat-client from source code on Debian Bullseye arm64 / RPi Model 4
@obj : After Googling, found the reason for failure: Missing build dependency dh-python
The build dependency dh-python is not included in file debian/control, so initially I did not install it.
After adding dh-python, I could successfully build & install mlat-client, and RB24 feeder’s mlat is active now.
## Install dependencies
pi@rpi4-20210823:~$ sudo apt-get install git curl build-essential debhelper python3-dev
## To avoid conflict, the package dh-python should be installed only after
## above dependencies have been installed
pi@rpi4-20210823:~$ sudo apt-get install dh-python
## Clone source-code and build the package
pi@rpi4-20210823:~$ git clone https://github.com/mutability/mlat-client.git
pi@rpi4-20210823:~$ cd mlat-client
pi@rpi4-20210823:~/mlat-client$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
