18 dh_auto_build is a debhelper program that tries to automatically build a
19 package. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system
20 it detects the package uses. For example, if a Makefile is found, this is
21 done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If
22 there's a setup.py, or Build.PL, it is run to build the package.
24 This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
25 you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_build at all, and just run the
26 build process manually.
30 See L<debhelper(7)/BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS> for a list of common build
31 system selection and control options.
37 Pass "params" to the program that is run. These can be used to supplement
38 or override any standard parameters that dh_auto_build passes.
51 This program is a part of debhelper.
