How to recompile openssh-server with different version

donnied · 12-26-2009, 11:28 AM

I would like to recompile the openssh-server with a different version string. I download and compile the source, but so far I have only been able to compile and run the client. Not the server.
Steps taken:
apt-get source openssh-server
pico version.h #change version strings
.configure
make
checkinstall -D make install

Is there a flag or option I need to specify to insure that it creates the sshd?

Assume openssh_5.1p1.orig.tar.gz

The file INSTALL, line 111 : /usr/local/sbin/sshd

( "prefix"/sbin/ )

.. Or may be checkinstall forgot the file ( it can happen )
.. then just do # make install

Possible source for more information : the file rules in
openssh_5.1p1-8.diff.gz .. when you apply the patch :
openssh-5.1p1/debian/rules
