Right, thanks - I hadn't realised that rules is a makefile with '#!/bin/make
-f' at the top to tell the shell to run it with make - clever!

To get it to build a debian package I had to do 'sudo debian/rules binary'.
  Not sure why I had to be root, but it complained when I wasn't.

Thank you for the pointer.

Graham.
