Each target in debian/rules gets called once and in order. So you have to make sure that both binary packages get configured and compiled within the same "target" in the Makefile. Last time I checked the "vim" source package runs the compilation multiple times creating different binary packages from the same souce tree. Although the maintainers are using Makefile trickery that I would try to avoid because I find it barely readable. Anyway, you can build the binary package into debian/package-binary1 and debian/package-binary2 and in the end build a package of each one. According to the debhelper(7) manpage you can provide a "-P" parameter to define the tmpdir (temporary directory) to build the final binary package. > Additionally the question comes up: should yabause-gtk and yabause-qt > conflict, at they both provide a yabause binary, or should I rename the > binarys to be able to install both GUIs side by side? The user probably doesn't want to use "yabause-gtk" to start the program. So I think they should conflict. Or you just decide on either library to build the package and are done.
