NAME

       deb-src-rules - Debian source package rules file

SYNOPSIS

       debian/rules

DESCRIPTION

       This file contains the instructions necessary to build the binary packages from the source package.

       The  debian/rules  file is an executable Makefile, with a shebang that is usually set to "#!/usr/bin/make
       -f".

       It must support the following make targets:

       clean  Clean up the source tree, by undoing any change done by any of the build and binary targets.  This
              target will be called with root privileges.

       build-indep
              Build  architecture  independent  files  required  to  build  any  architecture independent binary
              package.  If there are no architecture indepdenent binary packages to generate,  the  target  must
              still exist but do nothing.  This target must not require root privileges.

       build-arch
              Build  architecture  dependent  files required to build any architecture dependent binary package.
              If there are no architecture dependent binary packages to generate, the target  must  still  exist
              but do nothing.  This target must not require root privileges.

       build  Build architecture independent and dependent files, either by depending (at least transitively) on
              build-indep and/or build-arch or by inlining what those targets would do.  This  target  must  not
              require root privileges.

       binary-indep
              Build  architecture  independent binary packages.  This target must depend (at least transitively)
              on either build-indep or build.  This target will be called with root privileges.

       binary-arch
              Build architecture dependent binary packages.  This target must depend (at least transitively)  on
              either build-arch or build.  This target will be called with root privileges.

       binary Build  architecture  independent  and  dependent  binary  packages,  either by depending (at least
              transitively) on binary-indep and/or binary-arch or by inlining what those targets would do.  This
              target will be called with root privileges.
