5 dh_makeshlibs - automatically create shlibs file
10 use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib;
14 dh_makeshlibs [debhelper options] [-mmajor] [-V[dependancies]] [-n] [-Xitem]
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 DH_COMPAT=3 mode and above only).
28 =item B<-m>I<major>, B<--major=>I<major>
30 Instead of trying to guess the major number of the library with objdump,
31 use the major number specified after the -m parameter. This is much less
32 useful than it used to be, back in the bad old days when this program
33 looked at library filenames rather than using objdump.
35 =item B<-V>, B<-V>I<dependancies>
37 =item B<--version-info>, B<--version-info=>I<dependancies>
39 By default, the shlibs file generated by this program does not make packages
40 depend on any particular version of the package containing the shared
41 library. It may be necessary for you to add some version dependancy
42 information to the shlibs file. If -V is specified with no dependancy
43 information, the current version of the package is plugged into a
44 dependancy that looks like "packagename (>= packageversion)". If -V is specified with
45 parameters, the parameters can be used to specify the exact dependancy
46 information needed (be sure to include the package name).
48 =item B<-n>, B<--noscripts>
50 Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.
52 =item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>
54 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
55 being treated as shared libraries.
63 Assuming this is a package named libfoobar1, generates a shlibs file that
65 libfoobar 1 libfoobar1
69 Assuming the current version of the package is 1.0-3, generates a shlibs
70 file that looks something like:
71 libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0-3)
73 dh_makeshlibs -V 'libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)'
75 Generates a shlibs file that looks something like:
76 libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)
