Generate .deb from ROS package

edit

Hi to all,

I would like to generate a ".deb" file to share my ROS code with other. I have heard about Bloom and another ways to generate ".deb" files. However, this is not a good solution for me, I only need a local manner to generate a ".deb" file to obfuscate my source code and thereby, my colleague could install and use it in his computer, without see the source. I only need to share my code with my colleague, no with the ROS community, because it is a very concrete (ad hoc) source code, is not valid for the rest of community.

Is there a "ROS" manner to compile my ROS package in a .deb file?

Edit (by @William):

The first step is correct, it generates a debian folder with rules and another files.

$ cd path/to/your/catkin/package
$ bloom-generate rosdebian --os-name ubuntu --os-version trusty --ros-distro indigo

Then, when i try to use the second command:

$ fakeroot debian/rules binary

I have problems with CMakeList.txt.

The compiler, among other errors, does not recognize "add_message_files" command. Any idea?

Thank you very much for your help ;)

I am trying with a lot of configurations, but it doesn't work. I am sure that the solution is very simple. I attach my CMakelist.txt and package.xml, order that you may check the files.
