DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1) Debhelper DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)
dh_auto_install - automatically runs make install or similar
dh_auto_install [build system options] [debhelper options]
[-- params]
dh_auto_install is a debhelper program that tries to automatically
install built files. It does so by running the appropriate command
for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if
there's a Makefile and it contains a install target, then this is
done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set).
If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is used. Note that the Ant
build system does not support installation, so dh_auto_install will
not install files built using Ant.
Unless --destdir option is specified, the files are installed into
debian/package/ if there is only one binary package. In the multiple
binary package case, the files are instead installed into
debian/tmp/, and should be moved from there to the appropriate
package build directory using dh_install(1).
DESTDIR is used to tell make where to install the files. If the
Makefile was generated by MakeMaker from a Makefile.PL, it will
automatically set PREFIX=/usr too, since such Makefiles need that.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't
work, or tries to use the wrong install target, you're encouraged to
skip using dh_auto_install at all, and just run make install
manually.
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build
system selection and control options.
--destdir=directory
Install files into the specified directory. If this option is not
specified, destination directory is determined automatically as
described in the "DESCRIPTION" section.
-- params
Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that
dh_auto_install usually passes.
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
