No, you aren't. They are KDE specific. The documentation consists of the manuals for automake, autoconf, and possible autoheader. > Currenly running 'make install' puts all the files in the wrong place > (presumably the KDE standard locations). Is it correct for the debian > version of KDevelop to set-up the make this way? I notice there is a 'make > RPM' menu item but no 'make DEB'. Hint: It would be really nice to have > such a menu item! It's correct, in that nobody has coded something for KDevelop to automatically make proper, or even improper, .debs. I would suggest going through the Debian maintainer's documentation available at debian.org, as there are a couple of very good walkthroughs of making your first debian package. Once you do it a couple of times, it gets to be pretty easy.
