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