Okay, I've stolen this shamelessly. Now debuild -S spits out:
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1340:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -S failed
This is where I tend to fall completely to custard.
debian/rules:
: cat rules
#!/usr/bin/make -f
#export DH_VERBOSE=1
%:
override_dh_install:
dh_install -Xdebian
I assume I need something like an override_dh_clean, but I'm not sure what to
tell it.
Also, do I need an install file, or does this situation not call for one?
I appreciate your help-- my apologies if this is something blindingly obvious;
I struggle with debian packaging, as it hasn't quite "clicked" for me yet.
