Unable to build on Jessie

[Fantu]

Hi, I tried to build on Jessie, I build and installed planex 0.7.3 as required but not done by buildroot.
After with make seems start to build packages but stopped with:

[COWBUILDER] _build/RPMS/ocaml-findlib_1.5.5-1_amd64.deb
File not found: _build/SRPMS/ocaml-findlib_1.5.5-1.dsc

Trying to workaround it with:

rm -rf _build/SRPMS _build/RPMS
ln -s RPMS _build/RPMS
ln -s SRPMS _build/SRPMS

as I saw in other issue fail with one lock for too many link, I tried this instead:

rm -rf _build/SRPMS _build/RPMS
cp -par RPMS/ _build/
cp -par SRPMS/ _build/

And after make still fails with:

install -d debian/ocaml-findlib//etc/prelink.conf.d
cp -a debian/tmp/etc/prelink.conf.d/ocaml-ocamlfind.conf debian/ocaml-findlib//etc/prelink.conf.d/
cp: cannot stat 'debian/tmp/etc/prelink.conf.d/ocaml-ocamlfind.conf': No such file or directory
dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/etc/prelink.conf.d/ocaml-ocamlfind.conf debian/ocaml-findlib//etc/prelink.conf.d/ returned exit code 1
...
/usr/share/planex/Makefile.rules:141: set di istruzioni per l'obiettivo "_build/RPMS/ocaml-findlib_1.5.5-1_amd64.deb" non riuscito
make: *** [_build/RPMS/ocaml-findlib_1.5.5-1_amd64.deb] Errore 1

That I was unable to solve with a fast look.

Seems also there isn't recent commits for deb packages, is build deb packages project still active or not?

My centos experience is too low, I should try to build on centos instead as with good support or is probable have problems also on it?

I need to try some fast tests (and probably small changes) on latest xapi softwares (I need using xenopd-xenlight with upstream qemu on xen >=4.6), in my cases can be better build only some needed software instead all ones build here? If yes what exactly?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.

I have the same problem. First, I had to dpkg-buildpackage planex, install it, before I could even continue with make. Then I got the ocaml find issue and after half a wasted day, there is no easy way to fix.
