# make-wad-package(6)

build a .deb from a doom IWAD

## NAME

make-wad-package - build a .deb from a doom IWAD

## SYNOPSIS

**make-wad-package** *wadfile*\

## DESCRIPTION

Doom requires both a doom-engine and doom data to play. **make-wad-package** converts the IWAD file from your CD-ROM (or elsewhere) into a debian package which you can then install.\
 The resulting package satisfies the *doom-wad* package  dependency, allowing you to install a *doom-engine*.
