Ok, using the new gitlab repos instead of the old gitorious was clear so far ;-)
Just for information chapter "Install web interface“ also still mention gitorious which might not correct anymore

Starting a 2nd attempt on a plain vanilla debian (RPi) image I facing following challenges which might be worth mentioning on wiki page

[1] Additional to mentionend ds485-stack libraries, "dss-misc/libcommchannel“ is also needed
[2] It seems dsm-api has a dependency to lua which in my case was missing. As the installation (apt-get install lua5.2) doesn’t worked for me (may be because of a missing reboot?!?) I switched off the scripting capability (cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX -DWITH_SCRIPTING=off) as quick fix
[3] Using "./configure --prefix=$PREFIX“ as mentionend while compiling dSS ends up with error […]configure: error: libdsm-api headers not found in requested location -api_search_headers. Running configure with additional parameter "--with-search=$PREFIX" works better.

That’s sound promising, but first of all I need a working build process ;-)

Yes, all mentioned libraries and also the in point of view needed „libcommchannel“ (see [1])

As the „configure“ step (config.log) looks in my point of view pretty much ok, the build is still broken because of not resolvable boost. Might this behavior belongs to the additional "--with-search=$PREFIX“ parameter while running configure (see [3])?
