description

dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically configure a package prior to building. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, it looks for and runs a ./configure script, Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set of parameters is determined and passed to the program that is run. Some build systems, such as make, do not need a configure step; for these dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything.

This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn’t work, you’re encouraged to skip using dh_auto_configure at all, and just run ./configure or its equivalent 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_configure usually passes. For example:

  dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar
