This is intended to be a short manual for building a debian package of ooRexx. At the moment this consists of information that can not be found in the ooRexx source or any official ooRexx debian package - there is none…
Throughout the manual I assume that the C build environment is set up correctly to allow ooRexx to compile. If the normal compile works (the combination of bootstrapping, configuring and make) then only a few more tools are required to build the debian package.
As a first start I recomment reading Debian New Maintainers' Guide which explains a lot of details about the package building process.
Here are the build dependencies:
debhelper, autotools-dev, libc6, libgcc1, xalan, libtool (>= 1.5), g++ (>= 4)
Note that the version requirements may not be strict, I guess ooRexx also compiles with gcc 3.x. After the required packages have been installed (xalan is not necessarily required) some debian specific files need to be added to the source.
Inside the main source directory (in the SVN tree located under /main/trunk) create a directory debian.
Inside create
oorexx (4.0.0) stable; urgency=medium
* Initial debianization.

Description: Open Object Rexx (ooRexx)
ooRexx is an Open Source project managed by Rexx Language Association (RexxLA)
providing a free implementation of Object Rexx.
ooRexx is distributed under Common Public License (CPL) v1.0.
Object Rexx is an enhancement of classic Rexx; a powerful, full-featured
programming language which has a human-oriented syntax. The Open Object Rexx
interpreter allows you to write programs procedurally as well as in an
object-oriented fashion. Its main benefits include:
* Easy to use and easy to learn
* Upwardly compatible with classic Rexx
* The ability to issue commands to multiple environments
* Offers powerful functions
* Based on English-like commands
* Enhanced with full object orientation
* Designed for object-oriented programming, and also allows Rexx
conventional programming
* Provides a standard Rexx API to develop external function libraries
written in C (provided by librexx4-dev)

Now all files should be in place.
From the top source directory issue the command
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
or, if only the .deb packages are required:
fakeroot debian/rules binary
to directly build the debs.
If the build succeeds the deb files should appear in the directory above the source:
moritz@TP42:debian % ls -al ../.. -rw-r--r-- 1 moritz moritz 528450 2008-10-03 22:14 librexx4_4.0.0_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 moritz moritz 759566 2008-10-03 22:14 librexx4-dev_4.0.0_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 moritz moritz 363346 2008-10-03 22:14 oorexx_4.0.0_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 moritz moritz 2041952 2008-10-03 22:14 oorexx-dbg_4.0.0_i386.deb
Now oorexx and librexx4 can be installed via dpkg:
moritz@TP42:debian % sudo dpkg -i ../../librexx4_4.0.0_i386.deb [sudo] password for moritz: (Reading database ... 201514 files and directories currently installed.)

Now try to run it:
