DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1) Debhelper DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)
NAME
dh_auto_install - automatically runs make install or similar
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_install [build system options] [debhelper options] [-- params]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
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.
