Build a binary Deb from a Github clone

[narcisgarcia]

I've tried checkinstall with no success ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lemonpos/ticket/210 ).
Project's documentation is obsolete, and doesn't cover packaging actions ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...allation_Guide )
The updated procedure to simply install latest version of the software (without package managing) is:

sudo apt-get --install-recommends install build-essential git cmake
sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install kdelibs5-dev
git clone https://github.com/miguelchavez/lemonpos.git
cd lemonpos/
git fetch origin persa:persa
git checkout persa
git pull origin persa
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
make
sudo make install

I've found a lot of large and complicated manuals about compiling and packaging, but I suppose that there is some easier way to generate a deb from this.
Am I right?

Basically, no. checkinstall is the quick and dirty way, but if it doesn't work I think your only option is to follow the packaging guide.
