We'll use checkinstall to create a .deb package instead of make install.
checkinstall allows us to easily manage, remove or upgrade the software later
on, instead of compiling and making just over the old version. Do note that
checkinstall .deb packages are not intended for public distribution, using
them on your internal network is OK.
Firt install the required development packages:
apt-get install build-essential checkinstall libpcre3-dev liblua5.2-dev
Then create a folder for the source code:
mkdir -p /usr/local/src/nmap
cd /usr/local/src/nmap
Download nmap:
wget http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-6.40.tar.bz2
Unpack nmap
tar xvjf nmap-6.40.tar.bz2
cd nmap-6.40
Start the ./configure
./configure
Make it:
make
Now instead of make install, execute this command to start building the .deb
package:
checkinstall
Here's example output from checkinstall:
root@example:/usr/local/src/nmap/nmap-6.40# checkinstall
checkinstall 1.6.2, Copyright 2009 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran
This software is released under the GNU GPL.
The package documentation directory ./doc-pak does not exist.
Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]:
Preparing package documentation...OK
Please write a description for the package.
End your description with an empty line or EOF.

directory: /usr/local/src/nmap/nmap-6.40
You probably don't want them to be included in the package,
especially if they are inside your home directory.
Do you want me to list them? [n]:
Should I exclude them from the package? (Saying yes is a good idea) [y]:
