Without examining your packaging attempt, I can't say for sure where you went wrong, but it looks like your build dir is set to obj-$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) yet makes no provision for making sure that dir exists. Try building the version that's in Debian. It builds just fine and makes the correct directory (obj-x86_64-linux-gnu on my system, which is 64 bit). If your intention is to learn packaging for Debian and contribute, see https://nm.debian.org/ which will point you at where to get more help, including the debian-mentors list.
Thanks Ben. I unpacked the original source package, and the debian directory from the Sword package into the new source directory. As you suggested, it built with no problems. I'll go to the links you posted and see how to get more help. Thanks again. It really is appreciated. I'm hoping eventually to re-package updates to Sword, BibleTime and Xiphos.
