Re: Help needed for a beginner

Hi Isak,
Thanks for your reply. I made the changes as suggested by you.

I also did "export build_root=/home/anjan/helloWorld_INSTALL" (its same 
for DESTDIR)
I want the package to go there.
If I run make and make-install, it works fine, but /if I run 
"makepackage" the folder pointed to by build_root is simply removed/.

Now what is it that I am doing wrong?

Please tell me.

Thanks for your time and help

Anjan
