How do I package a linux application using MonoDevelop?

I have a hobby project written in C # using MonoDevelop. I've been trying to think about linux packaging for some time, but I keep despairing of disappointment and suppression.

My program consists of:

  • A library project ("Generator") that makes material with data created by my program.
  • The ui project ("Interface") using Gtk #. This project has two subdirectories: "glade" (the xml files that gtk uses to create widgets) and "book" (the data used by my program).
  • Utility project ("Utils") used by both the library and the interface.
  • The main project ("MyProgramName"), which is just starting the interface.

What (I think) I want to do is very simple (I think):

  • Compile my application
  • Copy .exe and .dll files (to / usr / local / bin?)
  • Copy the book directory (to / usr / local / bin?)
  • Copy the "glade" directory (to / usr / local / bin?)

Oh, and I want to do it as a .deb package. I think that if I can get tarball to work, the .deb package should not be too complicated, but that is what I want to do in the end.

I'm still not quite sure how to do this. I used MonoDevelop to create a Tarball. When I install the tarball (using ./configure, make, sudo checkinstall), it seems that it sets the executable code (and even creates a command to start the program), but forgets the "books" and "clearing" directories.
