Re: creating a deb package
It's not so different on Linux, I mean creating .msi is not so trivial task also.
Basically .deb package is equivalent to windows .msi file and .so libraries on Linux are "same as" .dll files (Shared_libraries).
How to create deb... well use google and type something along these lines: "how to create deb package" : (link1, link2)
To check what dependences program needs use "ldd progName" see i.e. this

Re: creating a deb package
thanks for your answer, instructions on the link1 are very easy, and i like it, but, first off all, after 'make' in my source directory, i can not 'make install'
how can i come about this?gilles@gilles-K50AF:~/Patriott_sources$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for gilles:
make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

According to the information in that post (I didn't done this myself) you need use
instead of "sudo make install".

Re: creating a deb package
this seems perfect, and it creates the debian package and install, but the program is nowhere in my installed program, are there some configuration i need to do to the C++/Qt sources before? or anything else i have not done?Originally Posted by Talei

Re: creating a deb package
Search for the directory name or application name because probably package name is named after that (or simply search package name).
Btw. this has probably nothing to do with Qt and is tool specific. You can create .deb with other tools as well, refer to distribution manual.
