no it should be installed well.
program is command line utility and syntax for running it is like this:
$ jconv <options> <config-file>

in config file are some settings and path of .wav file

I think they are user-specific, but I will have to put them probably to /etc/<mypackage>,
because I don't think upstream author will change application to do this.

Actually second package is just dir with subdirs ... no Makefile.
It mean I should write my own Makefile for it or how manage it?

Thanks for help
