dh_make cleans files I need to keep.


I am trying to make a deb package of lx-viewer (a CAD dgw viewer). There are two files, ad2.a and ad3.a that you must obtain by joining the OpenDWG Alliance which I did.

When running dh_make however, it removes these files in the clean process. I did some googling and found a variable that seems to be what I need, DEB_CLEAN_EXCLUDE. I added this to the /debian/rules file generated by dh_make but it still doesn't work. I couldn't find anything describing the proper usage of this variable other than it takes a regular expression. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my rules file:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk

# Add here any variable or target overrides you need.
DEB_CLEAN_EXCLUDE=OpenDWG/ad?.a
