Re: Fwd: Cannot get a .changes file from a package

I finally did it by filling the file polyphone.install in the debian directory, and files were added.
The icon and mime type were automatically associated.

I am thus seeking a sponsor for Polyphone, a soundfont editor.
If you need more information you can visit sourceforge or this website.

Ok, I was able to create a package from the source code via
dpkg-buildpackage. It compiled.
But!!!
- I still have a mime type to associate,
- an icon to add,
- a shortcut also,
- and my binary is still not copied in /usr/bin. The Makefile was
created with QT creator and I wasn't able to modify $(DESTDIR).

I need to know how to move files just next the build, so that the
icon, shortcut and my binary will be at the right place in the
package. Concerning the mime type I am reading the documentation of
dh_installmime.

I thank all of you who invite me to read documents on internet, but
while I'm motivated to success, the task is pretty hard. Maybe I'm not
beginning with the easiest package.

@Raúl: no particular reason not to use dpkg-buildpackage, it's just
that with 1 command dpkg-deb did the job!
