Re: Rules Makefile, Permission Denied

(sorry accidental button press!)

As I was saying:

I'm trying to build my first deb package and I've hit a problem,
I don't understand how the permissions work, I've just started using
fakeroot for running: fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -F, but now my
package won't compile anymore, how exactly do I get the files
installed in /usr/share or /usr/share/applications??

here's my rules file:

#!/usr/bin/make -f
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
# This file is public domain software, originally written by Joey Hess.
#
# This version is for packages that are architecture independent.

# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
#export DH_VERBOSE=1

icon = $(CURDIR)/link-lizard-icon.png
script = $(CURDIR)/gtk-link-lizard.py
launcher = $(CURDIR)/gtk-link-lizard.desktop

DEST1 = /usr/share/gtk-link-lizard-1.4
DEST2 = /usr/share/applications

build: build-stamp

build-stamp:
	dh_testdir

	# Add here commands to compile the package.
	#$(MAKE)

	touch build-stamp

clean:
	dh_testdir
	dh_testroot
	rm -f build-stamp

	# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
	#$(MAKE) clean
	#$(MAKE) distclean

	dh_clean

install: build clean $(icon) $(script) $(launcher)
	dh_testdir
	dh_testroot
	dh_prep
	dh_installdirs

	mkdir -m 777 $(DEST1)
	install -m 777 $(icon) $(DEST1)
	install -m 777 $(script) $(DEST1)
	install -m 777 $(launcher) $(DEST2)
	mkdir -m 777 -p ~/Documents/gtk-link-lizard-1.4
	install -m 777 $(CURDIR)/links.txt ~/Documents/gtk-link-lizard-1.4

	# Add here commands to install the package into debian/<packagename>.
	#$(MAKE) prefix=`pwd`/debian/`dh_listpackages`/usr install

and here's the resulting terminal readout:
