    <p>I have developed an autotools based C++ application which compiles and installs perfectly with the usual ./configure; make install.</p> <p>Now I have created a .deb package and to my surprise, it doesn't include any of my data or binary files. It only includes the mandatory .deb files like CONTENTS, DEBIAN, INFO, INSTALL, etc.</p> <p>I have tryed a lot of different approaches with bzr (for ubuntu) builddeb, debuild, etc. All of them make my program without errors and then create the almost empty .deb.</p> <p>These are the relevant files in the debian folder: debian/control:</p> <pre><code>Source: gestiong Section: office Priority: optional Maintainer: santilin &lt;gestiong@programacionsocial.net&gt; Build-Depends: debhelper (&gt;= 8.0.0) Standards-Version: 3.9.3 Homepage: www.programacionsocial.net #Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/gestiong.git #Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/gestiong.git;a=summary Package: gestiong Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: &lt;Programa libre de gestión de ONG y asociaciones sin ánimo de lucro&gt; &lt;GestiONG es un ...&gt; Package: gestiong-doc Architecture: all Description: documentation for gestiong &lt;insert long description, indented with spaces&gt; </code></pre> <p>debian/changelog:</p> <pre><code>gestiong (0.5-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low * Initial release -- santilín &lt;gestiong@programacionsocial.net&gt; Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:21:22 +0200 </code></pre> <p>And the commands to build de package out of the source tarball (gestiong_0.5.orig.tar.gz)</p> <pre><code>bzr dh_make gestiong 0.5 gestiong_0.5.orig.tar.gz Type of package: single binary, indep binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module, kernel patch?

    1. COYour package won't build at all, as is. It looks like it's missing a file called acinclude.m4 at the top level?

    2. COI have tried the paul's suggestions and I have got a deeper insight. Might the problem be that dh_auto_install installs everything under debian/tmp/ instead of debian/gestiong and then db_builddeb doesn't find anything under debian/gestiong?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
