I built my first test package a short time ago and all seemed to go well. I have a question about how to solve some location dependencies that exist in a few packages that I plan to create.
When I built my test package I specified to the 'configure' script the '--prefix' option was inside my debian directory. This worked fine for this package. My question is how do I handle it if the package uses this location to find libraries and config files at runtime. For instance if I specify --prefix=debian/tmp the package will not find it's needed files at runtime since this directory only exists when I am creating my package. I am sure other people have run into this problem. Thanks for the help in advance. Wayne
