I am working with this tutorial to understand better the debian packaging process:
http://www.debian-administration.org/article/337/Rolling_your_own_Debian_packages_part_2 it all goes well until I try to "build" the package from source. I am getting errors regarding SVN and APR (I think they are libraries) needed. I checked with Synaptic Manager and I see the libraries are installed. Do I have to make them available to the application? thanks for the help
