5 dh_makeshlibs - automatically create shlibs file and call dpkg-gensymbols

18 dh_makeshlibs is a debhelper program that automatically scans for shared
19 libraries, and generates a shlibs file for the libraries it finds.
21 It also adds a call to ldconfig in the postinst and postrm scripts (in
22 V3 mode and above only) to any packages in which it finds shared libraries.
28 =item debian/I<package>.symbols
30 =item debian/I<package>.symbols.I<arch>
32 These symbols files, if present, are passed to L<dpkg-gensymbols(1)> to
33 be processed and installed. Use the I<arch> specific names if you need
34 to provide different symbols files for different architectures.
42 =item B<-m>I<major>, B<--major=>I<major>
44 Instead of trying to guess the major number of the library with objdump,
45 use the major number specified after the -m parameter. This is much less
46 useful than it used to be, back in the bad old days when this program
47 looked at library filenames rather than using objdump.
49 =item B<-V>, B<-V>I<dependencies>
51 =item B<--version-info>, B<--version-info=>I<dependencies>
53 By default, the shlibs file generated by this program does not make packages
54 depend on any particular version of the package containing the shared
55 library. It may be necessary for you to add some version dependancy
56 information to the shlibs file. If -V is specified with no dependency
57 information, the current upstream version of the package is plugged into a
58 dependency that looks like "packagename (>= packageversion)". Note that in
59 debhelper compatibility levels before v4, the debian part of the package
60 version number is also included. If -V is specified with parameters, the
61 parameters can be used to specify the exact dependency information needed
62 (be sure to include the package name).
64 Beware of using -V without any parameters; this is a conservative setting
65 that always ensures that other packages' shared library dependencies are at
66 least as tight as they need to be (unless your library is prone to changing
67 ABI without updating the upstream version number), so that if the
68 maintainer screws up then they won't break. The flip side is that packages
69 might end up with dependencies that are too tight and so find it harder to
72 =item B<-n>, B<--noscripts>
74 Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.
76 =item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>
78 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename or directory
79 from being treated as shared libraries.
81 =item B<--add-udeb=>I<udeb>
83 Create an additional line for udebs in the shlibs file and use "udeb" as the
84 package name for udebs to depend on instead of the regular library package.
88 Pass "params" to L<dpkg-gensymbols(1)>.
98 Assuming this is a package named libfoobar1, generates a shlibs file that
100 libfoobar 1 libfoobar1
102 =item dh_makeshlibs -V
104 Assuming the current version of the package is 1.1-3, generates a shlibs
105 file that looks something like:
106 libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.1)
108 =item dh_makeshlibs -V 'libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)'
110 Generates a shlibs file that looks something like:
111 libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)
