Hello spring forums :)

I wonder how you make a deb with scons build system?
Normally the sourcecode uses a make build system, and that easy to make a deb with;

dh_make .... and so on
dpkg-buildpackage... and so on.

Can anyone show me a working rules file? Or know a way to build a deb file?

i'd suggest you to look at the checkinstall project

instead of sending scons install, you'll have to issue the checkinstall scons install & will auto create a deb for you (but it's not guaranteed it will work on other pcs)

Or look in the debs made by Yokozar (see sticky in this forum) for an example debian/rules.
