I tried it by changing the project file to:

Code:
# -------------------------------------------------
# Project created by QtCreator 2010-02-18T12:12:07
# -------------------------------------------------
TARGET = UniTrans
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp \
    mainwindow.cpp
HEADERS += mainwindow.h
FORMS += mainwindow.ui
RESOURCES += zeux.qrc
target.path = /usr/bin                    <<<<<< new
target.files = UniTrans                    <<<<<< new
INSTALLS += target                    <<<<<< new
Then the system changed the install in my makefile to this:
Code:
####### Install

install_target: first FORCE
	@$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/bin/ || $(MKDIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/bin/ 
	-$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) /home/markus/MyDocs/UniTrans/UniTrans $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/bin/


uninstall_target:  FORCE
	-$(DEL_FILE) -r $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/bin/UniTrans
	-$(DEL_DIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/bin/ 


install:  install_target  FORCE

uninstall: uninstall_target   FORCE

FORCE:

But it seems not to work.
Nothing is getting installed in /usr/bin when I install the final package in the scratchbox :-(

The "dpkg -L unitrans" gives me:
Code:
[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > dpkg -L unitrans
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/unitrans
/usr/share/doc/unitrans/changelog.gz

Isn't it the right way to change this file instead of changing the Makefile by hand?

What would I have to insert into the Makefile to copy my file in /usr/bin?
The syntax is really strange to me. And I have no plans to become a debian maintainer ;-)

What I find also strange is that the project file stated that its created by "qt creator". So I guess there is a way to change this in this program. But I can't find that either.

Oops, yeah, that's true. You shouldn't change the makefile. Sorry about that.

Actually what you showed looks reasonable. Somewhere in the auto-generated Makefile there should be a line starting with "INSTALL_PROGRAM = ". Can you report back what that line looks like? I am curious what the stuff on the other side of the equals sign is. For my project it is "install -m 644 -p".

Well, understanding makefiles and understanding Debian packaging are separate things.

If you like coding, IMO it would be beneficial to learn more about how makefiles work. It can be a pretty powerful and useful tool.

Learning how to make Debian packages is nice, but is only useful if you are working with a Debian-compatible distrubution.

I got it to work using this tutorial:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...plication_menu

Means I can install it now by hand via dpkg.
When I click on it in the program manager I still get the error that its incompatible.

Hmm. I guess there is something that app manager does not like still. I am not that familiar with app manager's reasons for not installing packages. Maybe post the deb somewhere?
