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
27 See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build
28 system selection and control options.

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
