dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building

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.
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
parameters that dh_auto_configure usually passes. For example:
dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar
