Cant build a simple package.
Hello, I'm learning making debian packages. I choosed to learn on a very simple software: minimalist. Installing it from source is just about copying a single file (minimalist.pl) into /usr/bin and then copying its conf file into /etc/minimalist.conf I get the error message you can see at the bottom of this post. I dont understand it. Would you help me? Especially where to tell the package builder not to use 'debian/minimalist/DEBIAN/control' but 'debian/control' ? In my rules file, I have: = #!/usr/bin/make -f export DH_VERBOSE=1 configure: build: clean: install: dh_testdir cp minimalist.pl $(CURDIR)/debian/minimalist binary-indep: binary-arch: dh_builddeb binary: binary-indep binary-arch .PHONY: build clean binary-indep binary-arch binary install The error output of the command 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' (wich is run at the top source directory): === [...] debian/rules build debian/rules build fakeroot debian/rules binary fakeroot debian/rules binary dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `debian/minimalist/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `debian/minimalist/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512 make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512 make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 -- ASPO Infogérance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc http://faq.fcolc.eu.org/ LUG sur Orléans et alentours.

You are looking for dh_gencontrol(1): DESCRIPTION dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with the proper permissions. Note that it won't be enough; you should really look into existing packages to see how it is done. Regards, Frederic
