5.10. Running QGIS
5.10. Building Debian packages
==============================
Instead of creating a personal installation as in the previous step you can
also create debian package. This is done from the qgis root directory, where
you'll find a debian directory.
First you need to install the debian packaging tools once:
apt-get install build-essential
The QGIS packages will be created with:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -us -b
/!\ *Note:* If dpkg-buildpackage complains about unmet build dependencies
you can install them using apt-get and re-run the command.
/!\ *Note:* If you have libqgis1-dev installed, you need to remove it first
using dpkg -r libqgis1-dev. Otherwise dpkg-buildpackage will complain about at
build conflict.
The the packages are created in the parent directory (ie. one level up).
Install them using dpkg. E.g.:
sudo dpkg -i \
../qgis_1.0preview16_amd64.deb \
../libqgis-gui1_1.0preview16_amd64.deb \
../libqgis-core1_1.0preview16_amd64.deb \
