Thanks for you reply.
The library, I'd like to package is FMOD (fmod.org), and it's a
"proprietary" library, it's free to use in a non-commercial software.
And i don't think the developers will give me their code to package it.
So, i don't really know how to start. For my soft, I ran dh_make which
help me a lot.
So maybe, I could do all the necessary things manually,is it a good idea
according to you ?
I download the package you mentioned, and i will have a look in the
afternoon, thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Sylvain
Ps: What does ITP means ?

Hi,
Probably someone to help you, actually. See if you can get a sponsor
for the library (have you done an ITP for the library?), see if there
is an existing maintainer who might help you.
I am working on debian packages for log4cxx for some time,
and this is also my first package; learned a lot through it,
so if you have any specific questions do not hesitate to contact
me.
Basically, the descriptions in the New Maintainers Guide should
be enough as a starting point, and you should at least read
the Debian Library Packaging guide you mentioned because it contains
some important information about naming conventions.
You could apt-get source some other simple library to see how other
libraries are built.
You could have a look at my work-in-progress at
http://littletux.homelinux.org/debian/log4cxx. And you could browse
the CVS repository at http://littletux.homelinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/
to view the path I was following while working on the package :-)
Once you have the package done, provide it somewhere so
that others can have a look at it.
Best Regards,
Andreas
