NAME
dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_configure [debhelper options] [-- params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically
configure a package prior to building. It looks for and runs a
./configure script, Makefile.PL, or Build.PL. A standard set of
parameters is determined and passed to the program that is run. If no
program to run is found, 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.
OPTIONS
-- params
Pass "params" to the program that is run. These can be used to
supplement or override the standard parameters that
dh_auto_configure passes.
