Hi, The problem is that debian/rules is overwriting the main Makefile in the first build with the Makefile that is contained in fhs-2.3-source.tar.gz. Probably, this file was supossed to uncompress in a directory, but it's not doing that. Of course, the second time that you try to build, the Makefile is the wrong one.
I've done a patch, but it's just one line, so feel free to send it to /dev/null Regards, Gerard
