NAME
dh_auto_clean - automatically cleans up after a build
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_clean [
build system options] [
debhelper options] [
-- params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up
after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command for
the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a
Makefile and it contains a
distclean,
realclean, or
clean target,
then this is done by running
make (or
MAKE, if the environment variable is
set). If there is a
setup.py or
Build.PL, it is run to clean the package.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or
tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using
dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean 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_clean usually passes.
