Hi all, I just tried to build vim on my Debian PowerPC machine and used the 'apt-get build-dep' whch worked fine (unlike on the Alpha - see message last night). So now I have all the things I need to build vim. I downloaded vim sources and went and configured it the way I want. (./configure --enable-gui=motif) then make. I then tried to make a deb package with 'dpkg-buildpackage' but it goes and reconfigures it and makes it again. I have already done that as I wanted it compiled with the motif gui (thats why I want to replace the default vim).
How do I make a deb package from an already configured and linked binary? I dont need signed packages and I dont want a cleaned out tree afterwards so I used dpkg-buildpackage -uc from the man page) I made it from within the vim directory created from 'apt-get source vim' so it has the deb control files all there.
