<br>
I am new to the Nokia 770 development (as well as debian packages) and
have recently finished setting up the development environment (Maemo
2.0). So far I have got everything up and running and I have been able
to build a simple Hello World application from scratchbox. I ran it in
the emulator (Xephyr) and now I am trying to run it in the Nokia 770. I
have been trying to build a binary package that includes the helloworld
executable, but so far I have not been successful. Is there any simple
way to quickly build a binary package from my helloworld executable? I
have been able to build the maemopad example package, but since my
project has only 1 file, I was wondering if there is a simpler way to
create my package (avoiding all the makefiles). BTW, using dpkg-deb I
managed to build a package but the 770 complained it was not
installable.</div></blockquote><div><br>
I think that you don't want to create Debian packages by hand, there are just way too many things that could go wrong.<br>
<br>
Debian New Maintainer's Guide is good document to get started with:<br>
<a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html">http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html</a><br>
<br>
This document uses dh_make to "debianize" your source package (to
create dummy version of needed files under debian/ subdirectory). Allt
the tools you need can be found from the SDK<br>
