Description

Hey guys, I also run into another issue when following the build instructions.

When I am trying to make the .deb package running the command cmake .. it seems to run fine but just creates a few 22 byte archives which obviously can't be opened.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the packaging attempt from the build instructions with cmake .. and inspect the generated Debian package archives. Determine why the resulting 22-byte archives cannot be opened; done means the command produces usable .deb packages rather than empty archives.
