Please excuse my lack of understanding. I am trying to use the deb-make-package and in the documention the instruction is
"3. Make any modifications to get the program to compile. If the makefile is set up to install in DESTDIR, then you will only need to make minor changes to debian/rules (DESTDIR is set in debian/rules to make sure things go into the right place)." I found the variable "DESTDIR" nowhere in "rules" or in the "debian"-directory created by deb-make. I do not know what modifications I should make to get the program to compile. I do not know what the compilation process needs. I feel stupid asking this questions as the documentation is supposed to help the "first time packager" to quote the documentation.
