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

In short, it's an ar archive containing:

package_x.y.z_arch.deb
-debian-binary
-data.tar.gz
--All of the stuff that will be installed (/usr, /etc/, etc., wherever you want your app to install to)
-control.tar.gz
--control (a text file in the format linked to above, you can edit some stuff out)

Hope that helps. I'm too lazy to write a more coherent response right now. My apologies.

The Maemo.org -> development section contains all you need to properly package an application.

Particularly take a look at the Maemo Tutorial :

http://maemo.org/development/documen...tml#deployment

on how to deploy your application.
