NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_auto_install [build system options] [debhelper options] [-- params]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_auto_install is a debhelper program that tries to automatically
13       install built files. It does so by running the appropriate command for
14       the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a
15       Makefile and it contains a install target, then this is done by running
16       make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a
17       setup.py or Build.PL, it is used. Note that the Ant build system does
18       not support installation, so dh_auto_install will not install files
19       built using Ant.
20
21       Unless --destdir option is specified, the files are installed into
22       debian/package/ if there is only one binary package. In the multiple
23       binary package case, the files are instead installed into debian/tmp/,
24       and should be moved from there to the appropriate package build
25       directory using dh_install(1).
26
27       DESTDIR is used to tell make where to install the files.  If the
28       Makefile was generated by MakeMaker from a Makefile.PL, it will
29       automatically set PREFIX=/usr too, since such Makefiles need that.
30
31       This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
32       or tries to use the wrong install target, you're encouraged to skip
33       using dh_auto_install at all, and just run make install manually.

OPTIONS

36       See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build
37       system selection and control options.
38
39       --destdir=directory
40           Install files into the specified directory. If this option is not
41           specified, destination directory is determined automatically as
42           described in the "DESCRIPTION" section.
43
44       -- params
45           Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that
46           dh_auto_install usually passes.
