NAME
deb-src-rules - Debian source package rules file
SYNOPSIS
debian/rules
DESCRIPTION
This file contains the instructions necessary to build the binary packages
from the source package.
The debian/rules file is an executable Makefile, with a shebang that
is usually set to ``#!/usr/bin/make -f''.
It must support the following make targets:
- clean
-
Clean up the source tree, by undoing any change done by any of the build
and binary targets.
This target will be called with root privileges.
- build-indep
-
Build architecture independent files required to build any architecture
independent binary package.
If there are no architecture independent binary packages to generate,
the target must still exist but do nothing.
This target must not require root privileges.
- build-arch
-
Build architecture dependent files required to build any architecture
dependent binary package.
If there are no architecture dependent binary packages to generate,
the target must still exist but do nothing.
This target must not require root privileges.
- build
-
Build architecture independent and dependent files, either by depending
(at least transitively) on build-indep and/or build-arch or
by inlining what those targets would do.
This target must not require root privileges.
- binary-indep
-
Build architecture independent binary packages.
This target must depend (at least transitively) on either build-indep
or build.
This target will be called with root privileges.
- binary-arch
-
Build architecture dependent binary packages.
This target must depend (at least transitively) on either build-arch
or build.
This target will be called with root privileges.
- binary
-
Build architecture independent and dependent binary packages, either by
depending (at least transitively) on binary-indep and/or
binary-arch or by inlining what those targets would do.
This target will be called with root privileges.
