dh_auto_configure − automatically configure a package prior to building
dh_auto_configure [build system options] [debhelper options] [−− params]
dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically configure a package prior to building. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, it looks for and runs a ./configure script, Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set of parameters is determined and passed to the program that is run. Some build systems, such as make, do not need a configure step; for these dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn’t work, you’re encouraged to skip using dh_auto_configure at all, and just run ./configure or its equivalent manually.
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 standard parameters that dh_auto_configure passes. This can be used to supplement or override those parameters. For example:
dh_auto_configure −− −−with−foo −−enable−bar
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
