Generating a .deb file

[adityabankar]

Hi,

I have compiled a package on my computer. For this I was required to install several other library packages. Now I want to distribute the compiled version after packing it as deb.
I also want that when my friend installs the package using this deb he should get an icon on desktop or in applications menu.

Thanks,
Aditya
