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.

-u params

This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb (1). It is deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO

debhelper (7)

This program is a part of debhelper.
