How to pack my QT application

I have been trying to create a debin/ubuntu .deb for my small application reading all the tutorial on the net but it seems that the deb created from the standard qt pro/make file is not working.

Is there any guide or tutorial for the same ?

U can try with Bitrock installer http://bitrock.com/, It gives u a executable file to install ur application :)

Nice ! Fast and easy ! :p

Thanks :)

Is there any guide on creating .deb files from scratch for qt project files ?

I am able to create the .deb file but it turns out to be empty. I think that problem is that the the binary is not getting added to the deb file. Maybe the .pro file or Makefile generated by qmake-qt4 does not work properly with dh_make/debuild

Here is how I create the software.

1. qmake-qt4 -project
2. qmake-qt4 ./proj1.pro
3. make

To pack the software I follow the guidelines


1. dh_make -e <my email>
2. delete the unwated files in ./debian directory.
3. changed the "control" file. did not change the default "rules" file.
4. debuild

The above mentioned software will not work for me, since I need to host the code on Ubuntu PPA. Also it is not free software.

(I need to upload it to Ubuntu PPA)

The important part is the debian/rules file. It describes how the source is build, where it is installed to, and, in turn, what is included in the package. So, in most cases, you have to edit the rules file. This can be quite complicated, but luckily Debian provides an easier way to package applications: cdbs. Maybe this can help you packaging your application. You can create all the files necessary for cdbs by running dh_make with the -b parameter.

Thanks I tried using CDBS but I am still facing the same problem. The binary is not included in the deb package. The size of deb file is around 1.8K only, while my application is around 19 mb.
