Only after i had a look at the content of the tarball i noticed that it was from debian-mentors (and thus possibly about an aspect i didn't understand). If it had been from debian-user, i had answered that one needs packages "tar", "gcc", and "make" and should not get distracted too much by the exotic build options on http://www.udpxy.com/howtos-en.html Just "make". No CC=, no "make" target. Execute where built, or run as superuser: make install Creating a Debian package would be an adventure that is more demanding. (Note that the correct mail address for advise with packaging is debian-ment...@lists.debian.org i.e. "mentors" in plural, not "mentor" in singular.)

But maybe one should change the first statement in the package description: https://packages.debian.org/sid/build-essential "If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package." (It is so odd to have to assume GNU/Linux without C compiler stuff. That's like having no shell. Semi-androidly.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
