18 dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically
19 configure a package prior to building. It looks for and runs a ./configure
20 script, Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set of parameters is
21 determined and passed to the program that is run. If no program to run is
22 found, dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything.
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_configure at all, and just run
26 ./configure or its equivalent manually.
34 Pass "params" to the program that is run. These can be used to supplement
35 or override the standard parameters that dh_auto_configure passes.
48 This program is a part of debhelper.
