This is one option. Another option is to put all files into /opt/<application-name> together (excluding the .desktop file). But please remember to set the path to your binary in your .desktop file correctly. edit: Another thing I forgot, is that there is a bug in MADDE, so dh_fixperms does not set the permissions correctly. So you have to add a file into your debian folder, which is called "postinst" and has the following content: Code: #!/bin/sh chmod +x /opt/path/to/your/executable/binary Daniel
#!/bin/sh chmod +x /opt/path/to/your/executable/binary
