Re: UNable to configure my package
thanks for the reply
i want to add some information that i m using a cross compilation tool
"scratchbox"
All the source code i have installed in scratchbox is using make install
(not from the deb packages)
So if i want to convert an application to deb package, first i need to
convert all other source code (becoz i have made changes to them according
to my requirement) that i have installed using make install, otherwise i
wouldn't be able to make a deb package.
thanks and regards
