This guide assumes that the reader has a reasonable knowledge of building and installing software from source on Linux distributions. The guide also uses the Command Line Interface (CLI) throughout, so you should be comfortable using a terminal. Below is a quick overview or review of some of the requisite knowledge.

GNU Make is a very important software building tool. It is used to transform a complex compilation task into a trivial one. It is important that you know how to use it, because we will store most of the information about the packaging process in a Makefile.

This script is included in almost all Linux source, especially for software written in compiled languages such as C and C++. It is used to generate a Makefile (file used by <application>make</application>) that is properly configured for your system. Standard Debian packaging tools use it, so it is important that you know what the <filename>configure</filename> script does. You do not need to know how to create a <filename>configure</filename> script yourself, as the software author (or <application>autoconf</application> will do that. However, you may have to adjust it at some point to get a <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> package to build correctly.
