 Before to compile you need to see if you have all the dependencies for the compilation, for that, just run the command '''dpkg-checkbuilddeps'''
 
-When you have installed all the needed dependencies, run the command '''fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage'''
+It is very possible that you will need to add more dependencies, see if the build give you a compilation error and install the remaining needed dependencies, this step is a bit a pain but it is extremely important to add all the needed dependencies to the '''control.in'' file, if not, when you will ''apt-get source enna'' to compile it yourself, it will not compile.
 
-'''Note:''' A good combo of command to do tests trying to build the package between you edit the control.in file is: ''fakeroot debian/rules clean ; dpkg-checkbuilddeps && fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b''
+So, the steps are: 
+ * Every time a new dependency is needed/found, add it to the control.in file
+ * Install the dependency
+ * Run the combo command: ''fakeroot debian/rules clean ; dpkg-checkbuilddeps && fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b''
+
+When you have finally builded the package, is time to build a real one (with source packages and such): run the command '''fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage'''
 
 You have it !
