It is IMHO a better idea to drop the libtool .la files. > usr/share/pkgconfig/* /usr/share/pkgconfig contains .pc (pkg-config) files for architecture independent packages. Your library is architecture-dependent (and you list /usr/lib/pkgconfig/), so you can drop this here. > ----------------------- > > 6.

Read the manpage for dh_install and consider to use the --sourcedir=debian/tmp switch (for multi-binary packages, files are normally installed to debian/tmp/ and then copied or moved into the packaging directories debian/$(binary_PACKAGE)/ - only the content of the latter is put into the resulting binary packages (except you request a different behaviour). Otherwise you would need to list source *and* destination in the .install file. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
