I couldn't find this but found a debian directory with all the stuff to make a .deb > > There can be more packages to install or compile again. > > e.g I have the following src URI-s in my /etc/apt/sources.list: > #Sources testing > deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian testing main non-free contrib > deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US testing/non-US main non-free > contrib Okay, I added these for testing/woody in addition to stable. apt-get source libgnome-dev This gave me version 1.2.13-4 which is good. It wouldn't build. apt-get install xpm4g-dev It is built finally.(It's big) > > You may need: > dpkg-dev - Package building tools for Debian What do I do now? Do I package it some how so I can install it? Of course it has a make install target. Use a ./configure --prefix=PATH and install it via make install somewhere else? When you don't know a process - it stinks. Maybe you know of some documentation for Debian development. Anyway, thank a ton for getting me this far. Eric
