7
9 debian/rules
10
12 This file contains the instructions necessary to build the binary
13 packages from the source package.
14
15 The debian/rules file is an executable Makefile, with a shebang that is
16 usually set to "#!/usr/bin/make -f".
17
18 It must support the following make targets:
19
20 clean
21 Clean up the source tree, by undoing any change done by any of the
22 build and binary targets. This target will be called with root
23 privileges.
24
25 build-indep
26 Build architecture independent files required to build any
27 architecture independent binary package. If there are no
28 architecture independent binary packages to generate, the target
29 must still exist but do nothing. This target must not require root
30 privileges.
31
32 build-arch
33 Build architecture dependent files required to build any
34 architecture dependent binary package. If there are no
35 architecture dependent binary packages to generate, the target must
36 still exist but do nothing. This target must not require root
37 privileges.
38
39 build
40 Build architecture independent and dependent files, either by
41 depending (at least transitively) on build-indep and/or build-arch
42 or by inlining what those targets would do. This target must not
43 require root privileges.
44
45 binary-indep
46 Build architecture independent binary packages. This target must
47 depend (at least transitively) on either build-indep or build.
48 This target will be called with root privileges.
49
50 binary-arch
51 Build architecture dependent binary packages. This target must
52 depend (at least transitively) on either build-arch or build. This
53 target will be called with root privileges.
54
55 binary
56 Build architecture independent and dependent binary packages,
57 either by depending (at least transitively) on binary-indep and/or
58 binary-arch or by inlining what those targets would do. This
59 target will be called with root privileges.
