DH_MAKESHLIBS(1) Debhelper DH_MAKESHLIBS(1)
dh_makeshlibs - automatically create shlibs file and call
dpkg-gensymbols
dh_makeshlibs [debhelper options] [-mmajor] [-V[dependencies]] [-n]
[-Xitem] [-- params]
dh_makeshlibs is a debhelper program that automatically scans for
shared libraries, and generates a shlibs file for the libraries it
finds.
It will also ensure that ldconfig is invoked during install and
removal when it finds shared libraries. Since debhelper 9.20151004,
this is done via a dpkg trigger. In older versions of debhelper,
dh_makeshlibs would generate a maintainer script for this purpose.
debian/package.shlibs
Installs this file, if present, into the package as
DEBIAN/shlibs. If omitted, debhelper will generate a shlibs file
automatically if it detects any libraries.
Note in compat levels 9 and earlier, this file was installed by
dh_installdeb(1) rather than dh_makeshlibs.
debian/package.symbols
debian/package.symbols.arch
These symbols files, if present, are passed to dpkg-gensymbols(1)
to be processed and installed. Use the arch specific names if you
need to provide different symbols files for different
architectures.
-mmajor, --major=major
Instead of trying to guess the major number of the library with
objdump, use the major number specified after the -m parameter.
This is much less useful than it used to be, back in the bad old
days when this program looked at library filenames rather than
using objdump.
-V, -Vdependencies
--version-info, --version-info=dependencies
By default, the shlibs file generated by this program does not
make packages depend on any particular version of the package
containing the shared library. It may be necessary for you to add
some version dependency information to the shlibs file. If -V is
specified with no dependency information, the current upstream
version of the package is plugged into a dependency that looks
like "packagename (>= packageversion)". Note that in debhelper
compatibility levels before v4, the Debian part of the package
version number is also included. If -V is specified with
parameters, the parameters can be used to specify the exact
dependency information needed (be sure to include the package
name).
Beware of using -V without any parameters; this is a conservative
setting that always ensures that other packages' shared library
dependencies are at least as tight as they need to be (unless
your library is prone to changing ABI without updating the
upstream version number), so that if the maintainer screws up
then they won't break. The flip side is that packages might end
up with dependencies that are too tight and so find it harder to
be upgraded.
-n, --no-scripts
Do not add the "ldconfig" trigger even if it seems like the
package might need it. The option is called --no-scripts for
historical reasons as dh_makeshlibs would previously generate
maintainer scripts that called ldconfig.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename or
directory from being treated as shared libraries.
--add-udeb=udeb
Create an additional line for udebs in the shlibs file and use
udeb as the package name for udebs to depend on instead of the
regular library package.
-- params
Pass params to dpkg-gensymbols(1).
dh_makeshlibs
Assuming this is a package named libfoobar1, generates a shlibs
file that looks something like:
libfoobar 1 libfoobar1
dh_makeshlibs -V
Assuming the current version of the package is 1.1-3, generates a
shlibs file that looks something like:
libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.1)
dh_makeshlibs -V 'libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)'
Generates a shlibs file that looks something like:
libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)
