NAME
dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to buildingSYNOPSIS
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 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
