NAME
dh_auto_build - automatically builds a package
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_build [
build system options] [
debhelper options] [
-- params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_build is a debhelper program that tries to automatically build a
package. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system
it detects the package uses. For example, if a
Makefile is found, this is
done by running
make (or
MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If
there's a
setup.py, or
Build.PL, it is run to build the package.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_build at all, and just run the
build process manually.
OPTIONS
See "
BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in
debhelper(7) for a list of common build
system selection and control options.
- -- params
-
Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that
dh_auto_build usually passes.
