1. Making the Deb Package

There are several possible ways to make a deb package, and this article uses the Dh_make tool.

Can participate in the article: Http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2011-02/32714.htm.

The article gives the process of making, but there is no detailed details.

This article produced a deb specification of the source code package, here no longer repeat the production process, be able to download the source Package view (http://download.csdn.net/detail/lewsn2008/8042085). The main is to generate Debian folders. Change the relevant files in the folder: Control,rules,postinst,postrm and so on.

2. Create a software icon for the package

Prepare the Software icon file Hello.png (usr/share/hello/hello.png) in the source code package. Copy the icon file to the system's/usr/share/pixmaps folder in the Postinst script.

3. Add the software to the Start menu of the system

prepare the shortcut file in the source package hello.desktop (Usr/share/hello/hello.desktop ). For the. Desktop file rules, you can refer to article http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2011-08/40397.htm and Copy the icon file to the system in the Postinst script/usr/share/ The Applications folder.

4. Installing and uninstalling the crafted Deb package

1 in the source code package Hello-1.0.zip extracted, the hello-1.0 folder is executed Dpkg-buildpackage will generate Hello_1.0_i386.deb in the previous folder, using Dpkg-i hello_1.0 _i386.deb installation to the system. Using Dpkg-l | grep Hello is able to see if it is installed.

At the same time. Be able to see if there is a Hello folder in the/usr/share/. The Hello folder has executable program Hello and so on.

Other than that. Because the Postinst script links the executable program/usr/share/hello/hello to/usr/bin/hello, the folder is in path. So being able to perform the which Hello test can execute the Hello command.
