// vim:set filetype=asciidoc:
[[makefile-sh-gui]]
=== Makefile (shell, GUI)
Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a POSIX shell GUI program using the *Makefile* as its build system.
This upstream is based on "`<<makefile-sh>>`" with enhanced GUI support.
Let's assume its upstream tarball to be *debhello-1.2.tar.gz*.
Let's get the source and make the Debian package.
.Download *debhello-1.2.tar.gz*
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step000.slog[]
----
Here, the *hello* has been re-written to use the *zenity* command to make this a GTK+ GUI program.
.*hello* (v=1.2)
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step101.slog[]
----
Here, the desktop file is updated to be *Terminal=false* as a GUI program.
.*hello.desktop* (v=1.2)
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step102.slog[]
----
All other files are the same as in "`<<makefile-sh>>`".
Let's package this with the *debmake* command. Here, the "`**-b':sh'**`" option is used to specify that the generated binary package is a shell script.
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step200.slog[lines=1..3]
...
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step200.slog-sanity[]
...
----
Let's inspect the notable template files generated.
// .The source tree after the basic *debmake* execution. (v=1.2)
// ----
// include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step201.slog[]
// ----
.*debian/control* (template file, v=1.2):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step203.slog[]
----
Let's make this Debian package better as the maintainer.
.*debian/control* (maintainer version, v=1.2):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step302.slog[]
----
Please note the manually added *zenity* dependency.
The *debian/rules* file is exactly the same as the one in "`<<makefile-sh>>`".
There are several other template files under the *debian/* directory. These also need to be updated.
.Template files under *debian/*. (v=1.2):

include::../examples/debhello-1.2_build-1/step400.slog[]

The rest of the packaging activities are practically the same as in "`<<makefile-sh>>`".
Here is the generated dependency list of *debhello_1.2-1_all.deb*.
