Hi Christophe,

Okay, now when I try the dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot command, 
whether as a normal user or as root, I get the following errors:

dpkg-parsechangelog: error: cannot open debian/changelog to find format: 
No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: unable to determine source package is

I already have libjack-dev at least:)
