[SOLVED] Package management for source installs

[promodus]

Hello,

There is the odd occasion where there is no package available in the repository, or there is no .deb made.

In this example I want to use winexe, it is a psexec version for Linux to get a dos prompt from a windows box. Pretty handy.

What I'm after is having apt manage the removal of this software after I've installed it. So if I go:

apt-get remove winexe

It's uninstalled and done for, nothing to worry about.

winexe
http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/

Coincidentally, I do get an error on make. Any help there would also be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll post another thread for the compile issues.
