Hello fellow developers
I am total linux programmer newbie and I have just finished coding app for my bachelor thesis at university. I am sure that there is somebody able to help me with last touches to the app as I am in completely new water here and so by this post I kindly ask you for that.
To explain: I have source code for an app which works in Scratchbox, as far as I know now I need to create makefile, .desktop file and somehow deb package and some other things I am not aware of.
To emphesize I am not asking anybody to write that things for me, I can just use some help from somebody who actually has developed something for Linux and can tell me what to do and point me the right direction.
If you have a bit of a spare time and want to help poor me from finishing misery (as finish is always worst I would be very gracefull for your time and effort

Thanks in advance and happy new year everyone

Johnnnie

I'm not too familiar with the process myself as I'm still learning, but I've picked out a few links from the wiki that I believe should put you on the right path:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...eveloper_Guide
Specifically the GNU Build System section in reference to makefiles.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_file_format
Details the contents and placement of .desktop files.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...d_Distributing
and
http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/Package_Building_HOWTO
Helped me out a great deal regarding packaging.
