Download the source package and look for a rules file in the debian directory. eg:- # apt-get source vlc # cat vlc-1.1.3/debian/rules ==================================================================== #!/usr/bin/make -f DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) DEB_HOST_ARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH) DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_OS) <snipped> binary: binary-indep binary-arch .PHONY: build clean install binary-indep binary-arch binary ======================================================================= Cheers -- "...I just want to be free of the fears and anxieties and the superstitions of religion. An 'avenging GOD'? One who created Hell for those who don't believe? I thought we were the perfect and holy children of GOD? How could any limits possibly be put upon us? Hell.. really? I'm sorry, but... no. Wrong. You're wrong. That's an insane GOD and therefore not mine.
