You're still better off building from source even if your software doesn't use a Makefile. Just think "Do whatever is necessary to compile" where the docs say "make" and "Get your software to install into debian/<pkgname>/" where it says "make DESTDIR=$(PKGNAME) install". If you _really_ just want to make binary packages, look at alien. -- Andrew Stribblehill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England
