Solution:

get everything in project directory and open terminal and type "make" (with no quotes)

Create a directory in your tweak's root directory and name it com.yourname.yourcompanyname

Then move the contents of the "-" folder to the com.yourname.yourcompanyname folder

Inside that directory, enter a directory called DEBIAN and add your postinst, preinst, prerm, and postrm scripts inside there. Also, you have to take your control file from your tweak's root directory and copy it into ./com.yourname.yourcompanyname/DEBIAN

To compile do this:

Open MobileTerminal and type the following lines of code

su

alpine //or your root password

cd /var/mobile/tweakdirectory

dpkg-deb -Z gzip -b com.yourname.yourcompanynameYour deb will stil be unarchiveable without using lzma

Hope this helps fix any errors you may encounter

you mean i shoud make tweak first by THEOS ?

Create a directory in your tweak's root directory and name it com.yourname.yourcompanyname

Then move the contents of the "-" folder to the com.yourname.yourcompanyname folder

Inside that directory, enter a directory called DEBIAN and add your postinst, preinst, prerm, and postrm scripts inside there. Also, you have to take your control file from your tweak's root directory and copy it into ./com.yourname.yourcompanyname/DEBIAN

i don't under stand this point (postinst, preinst, prerm, and postrm ) i have one file example.sh

To compile do this:

Open MobileTerminal and type the following lines of code

su

alpine //or your root password

cd /var/mobile/tweakdirectory

dpkg-deb -Z gzip -b com.yourname.yourcompanynameYour deb will stil be unarchiveable without using lzma
