I've been fighting with Qt Creator for two weeks now, trying to make the "publishing wizard" construct a debian source package for me. I've tried using the SDK on both OS X and Linux, and used both my own projects and some of the example projects, and every time I get the same error:

Code:

debian/rules clean
Can't exec "debian/rules": Permission denied at /Users/john/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/madbin/dpkg-buildpackage line 474.
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules clean failed with unknown exit code -1

Error: dpkg-buildpackage did not succeed.
Package creation failed.

I give up. I'm guessing I should be able to do it all by hand, using something like the process described in the Packaging Qt Creator Apps wiki page. However, I can see that the wizard in Qt Creator 2.4 is making a lot of different choices than those made in the wiki page; the paths are all different, it doesn't look like optification is needed at all (no binaries or links appear to be going into the /usr directory so far as I can see, everything is instead under /opt already), and the debian rules file is fairly different.

I guess what I'd really like to ask is whether there are folks out there packaging products using the current Qt SDK. Does the wizard work for you, and if not, what practices do you use for packaging up apps for submission to extras?

Thanks in advance!
