[[configure-single]]
=== Makefile.in + configure (single-binary package)
Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a simple C source program using *Makefile.in* and *configure* as its build system.
This is an enhanced upstream source example for "`<<makefile-single>>`". This also links to an external library, *libm*, and this source is configurable using arguments to the *configure* script, which generates the *Makefile* and *src/config.h* files.
Let's assume this upstream tarball to be *debhello-1.5.tar.gz*.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file, for example, as:
----
$ tar -xzmf debhello-1.5.tar.gz
$ cd debhello-1.5
$ ./configure --with-math
$ make
$ make install
----
Let's get the source and make the Debian package.
.Download *debhello-1.5.tar.gz*
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step000.slog[]
----
Here, the contents of this source are as follows.
.*src/hello.c* (v=1.5):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step101.slog[]
----
.*Makefile.in* (v=1.5):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step102.slog[]
----
.*configure* (v=1.5):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step103.slog[]
----
Please note that the *configure* command replaces strings with *@...@* in *Makefile.in* to produce *Makefile* and creates *src/config.h*.
Let's package this with the *debmake* command.
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step200.slog[lines=1..3]
...
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step200.slog-sanity[]
...
----
The result is similar to "`<<step-debmake>>`" but not exactly the same.
Let's inspect the notable template files generated.
// .The source tree after the basic *debmake* execution. (v=1.5)
// ----
// include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step201.slog[]
// ----
.*debian/rules* (template file, v=1.5):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step202.slog[]
----
Let's make this Debian package better as the maintainer.
.*debian/rules* (maintainer version, v=1.5):
----
include::../examples/debhello-1.5_build-1/step301.slog[]
----
There are several other template files under the *debian/* directory. These also need to be updated.
The rest of the packaging activities are practically the same as the one in "`<<step-debuild>>`".
