First, I tried DEB_DESTDIR:=debian/tmp. This results in a libtool error message "libtool: install: debian/tmp/usr/lib' must be an absolute directory name". Next, I tried DEB_DESTDIR:=$(pwd)/debian/tmp, which resulted in trying to install the compiled binary to /debian/tmp, of course with EPERM. Writing the full path resulted in the already-known binary-less package. $(pwd)/debian/tmp expands to /debian/tmp > You can probably just write * in there. That one results in |dh_install -pksynaptics |cp: cannot copy a directory, `./debian', into itself, `debian/ksynaptics/debian/tmp/debian' Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
