dh_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that is responsible for calculating
shared library dependencies for packages.
This program is merely a wrapper around
dpkg-shlibdeps(1) that calls it
once for each package listed in the
control file, passing it a list of
ELF executables and shared libraries it has found.
-
-Xitem, --exclude=item
- Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their
filename from being passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. This will make their
dependencies be ignored. This may be useful in some situations, but use it
with caution. This option may be used more than once to exclude more than
one thing.
-
-- params
- Pass params to dpkg-shlibdeps(1).
-
-uparams,
--dpkg-shlibdeps-params=params
- This is another way to pass params to
dpkg-shlibdeps(1). It is deprecated; use -- instead.
-
-ldirectory[:directory
...]
- With recent versions of dpkg-shlibdeps, this option
is generally not needed.
It tells dpkg-shlibdeps (via its -l parameter), to look for
private package libraries in the specified directory (or directories --
separate with colons). With recent versions of dpkg-shlibdeps, this
is mostly only useful for packages that build multiple flavors of the same
library, or other situations where the library is installed into a
directory not on the regular library search path.
-
-Lpackage,
--libpackage=package
- With recent versions of dpkg-shlibdeps, this option
is generally not needed, unless your package builds multiple flavors of
the same library or is relying on debian/shlibs.local for an
internal library.
It tells dpkg-shlibdeps (via its -S parameter) to look first
in the package build directory for the specified package, when searching
for libraries, symbol files, and shlibs files.
If needed, this can be passed multiple times with different package
names.
Suppose that your source package produces libfoo1, libfoo-dev, and libfoo-bin
binary packages. libfoo-bin links against libfoo1, and should depend on it. In
your rules file, first run
dh_makeshlibs, then
dh_shlibdeps:
dh_makeshlibs
dh_shlibdeps
This will have the effect of generating automatically a shlibs file for libfoo1,
and using that file and the libfoo1 library in the
debian/libfoo1/usr/lib directory to calculate shared library dependency
information.
If a libbar1 package is also produced, that is an alternate build of libfoo, and
is installed into
/usr/lib/bar/, you can make libfoo-bin depend on
libbar1 as follows:
dh_shlibdeps -Llibbar1 -l/usr/lib/bar

This program is a part of debhelper.
