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.
In compat 15 or later, dh_auto_install will use debian/tmp as the
default --destdir and should be moved from there to the
appropriate package build directory using dh_install(1) or
similar tools. Though if the single-binary addon for dh(1) is
activated, then it will pass an explicit
--destdir=debian/package/ to dh_auto_install.
For earlier compat levels then 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) or similar tools.
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.
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
