dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building
Contents
Description
dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically configure a package prior to
building. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses.
For example, it looks for and runs a ./configure script, Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set
of parameters is determined and passed to the program that is run. Some build systems, such as make, do
not need a configure step; for these dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, you're encouraged to skip using
dh_auto_configure at all, and just run ./configure or its equivalent manually.
