This Document will explain how to create .deb( debian) packages from source

Posted by hsukumar on 05/02/2009

If your build from source is successful, you can make a Debian (Ubuntu) package (.deb) for future use:

Install package tools:

sudo apt-get install checkinstall

Rebuild package using “checkinstall”:

cd /path/to/extracted/package
./configure
sudo make
sudo checkinstall

Keep the resulting “.deb” file for future use. It can later be installed using:

sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
