NAME
dh_auto_install - automatically runs make install or similar
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_install [debhelper options] [-- params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_install is a debhelper program that tries to automatically
install built files. If there’s a Makefile and it contains a "install"
target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment
variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is used.
The files are installed into debian/<package>/ if there is only one
binary package. In the multiple binary package case, the files are
instead installed into debian/tmp/, and should be moved from there to
the appropriate package build directory using dh_install(1) or
dh_movefiles(1).
DESTDIR is used to tell make where to install the files. If the
Makefile was generated by MakeMaker from a Makefile.PL, it will
automatically set PREFIX=/usr too, since such Makefiles need that.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn’t work,
or tries to use the wrong clean target, you’re encouraged to skip using
dh_auto_install at all, and just run make install manually.
OPTIONS
-- params
Pass "params" to the program that is run. These can be used to
suppliment or override the any standard parameters that
dh_auto_clean passes.
