NAME

dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building

SYNOPSIS

dh_auto_configure [ build system options ] [ debhelper options ] [ -- params ]

DESCRIPTION

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.

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_configure usually passes. For example:

dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar

SEE ALSO

This program is a part of debhelper.
