dh_builddeb – build Debian binary packages
Synopsis
dh_builddeb [debhelper options] [–destdir=directory] [–filename=name] [— params]Description
dh_builddeb simply calls dpkg-deb(1) to build a Debian package or packages. It will also build dbgsym packages when dh_strip(1) and dh_gencontrol(1) have prepared them.It supports building multiple binary packages in parallel, when enabled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field is not (effectively) binary-targets, dh_builddeb will pass –root-owner-group to dpkg-deb(1).
Options
- –destdir=directory
- Use this if you want the generated .deb files to be put in a directory other than the default of "..".
- –filename=name
- Use this if you want to force the generated .deb file to have a particular file name. Does not work well if more than one .deb is generated!
- — params
- Pass params to dpkg-deb(1) when it is used to build the package.
- -uparams
- This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1). It is deprecated; use — instead.
