Hey everyone,

I am working on a project for my school and we have wrote a maemo gui application to be used on the n810. It consists of a simple C code which we have compiled and tested inside scratchbox and actually run on the xephyr "emulator".

The gui functions fine, we are in need of the proper and easy way to create a debian package to install it on the device.

Thanks for reading,
Josh

Search for PyPackager (I think that's the name) here on ITT, it's a tool for simplified debian packaging. You basically put your files-to-install in the correct place in a tree of your own (e.g. my-tmp/test/usr/bin/hello my-tmp/test/usr/lib/libhello.so.1.2 etc. etc., then you tell PyPackager about where to start packing from (my-tmp/test/).

("Proper" debian packaging is outside the scope of the Nokia tablets, you should look up the info on debian.org for that. Except for one little thing, which is that 'Section' in the control file must be 'user' or 'user/<something>' for the Nokia tablets. Anyway, you should probably start out with PyPackager - it'll also do that part for you.)
