Hi,

you can find a lot of information in the wiki, some good pages you'll find here and here.

I am at the same point as you. Im wanting to package my app an start optifyng it.

firstly i would go to the wiki area and read the two packaging tutorials one is just packaging and one is for packaging for qt applications.

if you dont know how to find wikis on this site go to comunity at the top and then to use wiki, then use the search box top right. when i get home i will start trying to package mine and will share my experiance with you.

edit: danelw u beat me

The ideal solution is to use the application's configure/make/install scripts to install under /opt by default. The other option is to use maemo-optify (see http://maemo.gitorious.org/maemo-af/.../master/README) in your debian/rules file, or maemo-optify-deb on a completed .deb file.

ya... i keep trying about it for a day...i have download the maemo-optify.deb file... and the guide say we can call it right b4 "dh_builddep"...
can you tell me that what's the command to call it?

Do i have to put the maemo-optify.deb file in the debian folder?

do i have to rename it since when we download the filename was "maemo-optify_0.2.1_all.deb"

big thanks for help~

According to the README file I linked you to:
You can put a call to "maemo-optify" into debian/rules, immediately after dh_gencontrol or equivalent, like this:

maemo-optify PACKAGE DIR

where PACKAGE is the name of the binary package that you want to optify, and DIR is the directory with the files of the package. If you omit DIR, it defaults to "debian/PACKAGE". (The name of the package is needed for the heuristics that maemo-optify performs.)

No, maemo-optify is run by the build process, so the .deb file will need to be installed in the scratchbox (if it's not already installed by default).

No, the name of the .deb file is irrelevant.

I doubt maemo-optify will work at all with MADDE. You're better modifying your .pro file to install under /opt instead of under /usr. For example, looking at http://wiki.maemo.org/MADDE/Packaging, in step 6 change the Exec to point to /opt/<projectname>/<projectname> and in Step 7 change the target.path to /opt/<projectname>. Obviously, for more complex programs there'll be other parts that need changing (install locations for data files, etc).

ok thank you rob1n the link you have linked me to is enough for me to package my idea i think.

im using scratchbox tho but i think most of the qmake stuff in the .pro file should still be the same. for example the INSTALLS section.
