Re: trouble with packaging

[Brendan Martens <shrift@gmail.com>]

Sorry your getting this twice Daniel, realized I didn't reply to list.

Thanks for the reply. This is what my debian/rules file looks like: http://pastebin.com/f135b3d42

Is it normal to have to manually edit the rules file to make it run make install? The tweaks I tried on debian/rules was to uncomment the dh_install line, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

I've never made a "real" package before, so I apologize in advance if I'm

documentation and various documentation and walkthroughs I can find....

So basically I'm trying to make a debian package of the monit-5.0.3 release.

I am able to compile the program just fine with the standard "./configure

make && make install", but when I get to generating a package the .deb does

not contain /usr/bin/monit or /usr/sbin/monit as it should, but all the

documentation, etc seems to be correctly created. Here is what dpkg

--contents shows:

./usr/share/man/man1/monit.1.gz

Looks to me like make install might not even be running--this stuff
could have been installed by dh_* commands.

I feel like I'm missing something in debian/rules but I've tweaked a few

things but it has had no effect.

debian/rules is what matters here, please attach it.

Regards,
Daniel
