NAME
dh_builddeb - build Debian binary packages
SYNOPSIS
dh_builddeb [
debhelper options] [
--destdir=directory] [
--filename=name] [
-- params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_builddeb simply calls
dpkg-deb(1) to build a Debian package
or packages. It will also build dbgsym packages when
dh_strip(1)
and
dh_gencontrol(1) have prepared them.
It supports building multiple binary packages in parallel, when enabled by
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field is not (effectively)
binary-targets, dh_builddeb will pass --root-owner-group to
dpkg-deb(1).
OPTIONS
- --destdir=directory
-
Use this if you want the generated .deb files to be put in a directory
other than the default of "..".
- --filename=name
-
Use this if you want to force the generated .deb file to have a particular
file name. Does not work well if more than one .deb is generated!
- -- params
-
Pass params to dpkg-deb(1) when it is used to build the
package.
- -uparams
-
This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1).
It is deprecated; use -- instead.
