Build a Debian package

Question

I'm try to build a Debian package, using this commands :

debian/rules clean
dpkg-source -b .
debian/rules build
debian/rules binary

I've got this file :

myprog_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz
myprog_1.1.0-1.dsc
myprog_1.1.0-1.debian.tar.xz
myprog_1.1.0-1_all.deb
myprog-doc_1.1.0-1_all.deb

All the steps have been completed with success. When I open the directory "myprog-1.1.0/debian", I find something which looks like to a Debian package, but my libraries are not in, they are under "myprog-1.1.0/debian/tmp/usr/lib/..."

My questions are : Is it normal ? Is there something else to do to finish this package ? If I'd want it to distribute it, should I recreate a tar.gz from "myprog-1.1.0" ?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Finally, I've found a solution. I've added

override_dh_auto_install:
     dh_auto_install --destdir=debian/myprog

into the file debian/rules.

Hoping that it will help someone someday...

Try this:
