dh_builddeb (1) Linux Manual Page

NAME

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.

SEE ALSO

debhelper(7)

This program is a part of debhelper.
