README-DEBIAN for SpaceFM The files in distros/debian/ may be used to build a binary deb package of SpaceFM for use on Debian-based distros (Lenny and later). For official Debian packages, please see Debian repositories: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=spacefm&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all or the SpaceFM Debian Wiki: https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/wiki/Debian To build a Debian package: 1) Install build dependencies for your build (see DEPENDENCIES in README), plus debhelper. 2) Download and extract the desired SpaceFM version. See DOWNLOAD in README. 3) Move the distros/debian directory into the source directory: mv distros/debian . NOTE: For some Debian versions, some adjustments to the 'control' file (package names used for dependencies) may be necessary. 4) IF GTK3 support IS desired: cp debian/control-gtk3 debian/control cp debian/rules-gtk3 debian/rules sed -i 's/^spacefm \(.*\)/spacefm-gtk3 \1/' debian/changelog 5) IF hal support IS desired (cannot be used with GTK3 unless you edit rules): cp debian/control-hal debian/control cp debian/rules-hal debian/rules sed -i 's/^spacefm \(.*\)/spacefm-hal \1/' debian/changelog 6) Build package: dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc # The package files will appear in the parent directory: cd .. # Clean up: rm -rf spacefm-* spacefm.tar.gz 7) To install the package you built: dpkg -i spacefm*.deb
