As you can guess I have never tried to recompile any debian stuff from
the sources so I need a little hand holding here. Where are the docs for
doing this? I looked at several in the Debian Packaging Manual. I did
not find any clear cut description of what to do next. I unpacked the
source files (mc-4.5.42.dsc, mc-4.5.42.diff.gz, mc-4.5.42.tar.gz. using
"dpkg-source -x -su mc*dsc". Two directories were created "/mc-4.5.42"
and "/mc-4.5.42.orig". I tried running "dpkg --build" from different
locations and that did not work. I could eventually figure this out but
I need to get this working ASAP as this is a production system.
Thanks!
