Please ignore what I have said below if u have known them for ages.

Traditionally in Linux, we used to
./configure
make
make install

to compile, link and install a program from its source.

However, there are another way
./configure
make
checkinstall

Checkinstall is a very funny program that read through your Makefile,
locate your "install" clause and create a deb for u.
To install checkinstall in ubuntu,
> >sudo apt-get install checkinstall

Since ide itself is not very platform sensitive, I don't think u need to
worry about how to setup configure.ac nor do u need to worry about which
linux and which versions people are using. Instead simply add "install:
" plus a few lines to your ide's Makefile to copy everything to say
/usr/share/upp and create a link of ide program to /usr/local/bin, u
will have a lovely deb package for debian guys.

Another goods news is checkinstall can create rpm as well.

Pardon me again if I have wasted your time to read these.
