.deb installable with "dpkg -i" but not by maemo-proagram-manager
 

Hello,
I wrote my first software for maemo in Qt.
( http://qvdremote.garage.maemo.org )

The .deb is created with :
Qt Creator 2.0.1
Basierend auf Qt 4.7.0 (32 bit)
Erstellt am Oct 7 2010 um 13:24:26
Revision 113d4c5618

...and installable by dpkg -i (works fine with icon etc...)

But I can not install it by the Gui-program-manager on my N900? ...other .deb (ex.: cpufrequi_0.01-2_armel.deb) can be installed by clicking on it in the/a filemanager...


But my deb says "programpackage not compaible" (translated from german)

Any ideas. I tried to edit the control-file from the debian-forder and edit it like the control-file from cpufrequi, but the package could not be build by Qt-creator...

my control file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The app manager will only install apps from within the user section. You need to change the "Section" entry in your control file to "user/multimedia" for app manager to handle it.

Hi,

I'm having some problems trying to create the .deb file again.

Once qt creator created the debian folder with control files and .deb file on the directory above it, how do I re-create the deb file????

I tried dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot and it gives me an error. Tried dpkg-buildpackage -nc -uc -us like Qt does and gives me another error.

The deb that Qt creates I already inserted some .so plugins files that my application needs but I just can't figure out how to recreate the daim .deb file!

Please enlighten me on how to do this...

b.t.w. is there any program to edit .deb files under graphic mode? I tried debcreator to create my deb package but it fails on checking something before the build process...
