Re: trouble with packaging



Makes sense, I think I am understanding the build process on the whole much better now. Thank you all for your help.

Your change worked! : ) Thanks very much.
So if I understand this correctly... I need to edit debian/rules so that the
build section works as if I told make install to install to
debian/program_name, using DESTDIR?

Yes, you want to install the package into a local location, this being debian/program_name for modern packages, debian/tmp for some legacy (I
think its debhelper compatability level 4 or earlier but I may be
totally off here)
debian/package_name for single-binary packages, debian/tmp for
multi-binary packages. dh_install looks into debian/tmp by default,
starting from debian/compat >= 7.
