Hi all Given a source tarball, how to best install that into the system?
My suggestion would be to create a .deb archive and to then install that using dpkg -i. Now, I have never created my own .deb apart from doing this with make-kpkg and apt-get source -b, so I am not familiar with the "internals" or much more the necessary contents of a debian archive for it to be one. I know though that dpkg-deb has the capability to build .deb archives. As I know *nothing* more than that, I don't know what to do next to get my source tarball (LAME) compiled and installed...? Any help appreciated. :) -- S. Burgener Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
