You are running it as root I guess?!? You should run it as normal user and then it should work. I haven't looked at your latest sources, but the one you have posted here follow these steps and it should work:

1. create a folder <package-name>-<version-number> like countdowntimer-0.1

2. copy the sources into that folder

3. create in the folder a file named countdowntimer.pro with this content:

Code:

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS  = src

4. go into the src folder and create a file called src.pro with the following content:

Code:

TARGET = countdowntimer
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += qtmain.cpp \
    settings.cpp \
    form.cpp 
HEADERS += settings.h \
    form.h 
FORMS += settings.ui \
    form.ui 
PREFIX = ../debian/countdowntimer/usr

unix {
BINDIR = $$PREFIX/bin
DATADIR =$$PREFIX/share

DEFINES += DATADIR=\"$$DATADIR\" PKGDATADIR=\"$$PKGDATADIR\"

#MAKE INSTALL

INSTALLS += target desktop

  target.path =$$BINDIR

  desktop.path = $$DATADIR/applications/hildon
  desktop.files += countdowntimer.desktop

}

5. go back to the main-folder and run:

Code:

mad dh_make --createorig --single -e <your email> -c gpl

press enter. This command creates the basic files in a new folder called debian. To find out more about the meaning of the different files, please read the documentation about debian packages.

6. run:

Code:

mad qmake

7. run:

Code:

mad dpkg-buildpackage

That should do it to get a really basic package done for testing, which includes the entry in the task launcher. I don't know, which editor you used for the .desktop file, but there was a special character in the first line, which avoid reading it correctly. After rewriting it, it worked perfectly fine.

hope this helped and sorry for the delay.

Daniel
