description

dh_auto_build is a debhelper program that tries to automatically build a package. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if a Makefile is found, this is done by running make (or MAKE , if the environment variable is set). If there’s a setup.py, or Build.PL, it is run to build the package.

This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn’t work, you’re encouraged to skip using dh_auto_build at all, and just run the build process manually.

options

See " BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS " in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.
-- params

Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_build usually passes.
