Prerequesits

  1. A PC running Debian
  2. All the data including
    • sources (Mercurial or .tar.gz)
    • grafix and sounds (syncdata)
    • maps (syncmaps)
    • all that's necessary to build glob2 (make, libs, ...)
    • checkinstall (the piece of software that will actually make the .deb file

Procedure

procede like you wanted to install glob2 on the system:

cd DirectoryYouDownloadedAndUnpackedGlob2
./bootstrap
./configure
./syncdata
./syncmaps
make 

and now instead of sudo make install do a

sudo checkinstall -D

Follow the instructions and please don't ignore lines like "can't find file ..." even as it might report to have finished successfully as this might imply you missed to do syncdata or thelike. Now if it finished well you will find a .deb suitable to be installed on systems like yours.
