NAME

6       dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_auto_configure [build system options] [debhelper options]
10       [-- params]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically
14       configure a package prior to building. It does so by running the
15       appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses.
16       For example, it looks for and runs a ./configure script, Makefile.PL,
17       Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set of parameters is determined and
18       passed to the program that is run. Some build systems, such as make, do
19       not need a configure step; for these dh_auto_configure will exit
20       without doing anything.
21
22       This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
23       you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_configure at all, and just run
24       ./configure or its equivalent manually.
25

OPTIONS

27       See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build
28       system selection and control options.
29
30       -- params
31           Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that
32           dh_auto_configure usually passes. For example:
33
34             dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar
