NAME¶
dh_autoreconf - Call autoreconf -f -i and keep track of the changed files.
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_autoreconf [
debhelper options] [
-Xitem]
[
--mode=mode] [
program -- params]
DESCRIPTION¶
dh_autoreconf is responsible for calling autoreconf and creating the files
debian/autoreconf.before and debian/autoreconf.after which contain checksums
of all files before/after the build. It is complemented by dh_autoreconf_clean
which creates a list of all changed and added files and removes them.
Please note that dh_autoreconf can only be run once. Thus, if you need to run
multiple commands, use a script or similar. An example is given in
dh-autoreconf(7).
FILES¶
- debian/autoreconf
- This file can contain a list of directories. If present, dh_autoreconf
will only scan the given directories for changes. If no special command is
given to dh_autoreconf, it will also forward the directory list to
autoreconf which causes it to be run only on those sub directories.
OPTIONS¶
- -Xitem --exclude=item
- Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename
from being checked for changes. This means that those files won't be
deleted by "dh_autoreconf_clean" even if there are changes. You
may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to
exclude.
Starting with version 3, the directories of common version control systems
such as cvs, git, hg, svn, and bzr are excluded automatically.
- --mode=mode
- Change the way in which modifications to files are detected. The default
mode is md5 for using MD5 checksums, but there is also
timesize for using the time of the last modification and the file
size.
- --as-needed
- Enable support for -Wl,--as-needed in all ltmain.sh files identical to the
one of the libtool package. This only works in the MD5 mode (the default
one). The changes are reverted in dh_autoreconf_clean. You should not
prevent LIBTOOLIZE from running with this, as it only works correctly with
libtoolize running.
- -Ddir --sourcedirectory=dir
- Run everything in the source directory. Supported only in debhelper compat
level 10 for backwards compatibility.
- program -- params
- Run the program given by program with the arguments given by
params instead of autoreconf -f -i. If you need to run multiple
commands, put them in a script and pass the script instead (or add a
target to debian/rules).
ENVIRONMENT¶
For each tool executed by
autoreconf(1), one can export a variable with
the uppercase name of the tool to the specific program which shall be run,
including
true to prevent the tool in question from being run. The
following example shows the beginning of a debian/rules for a package where
automake 1.11 shall be run instead of the default automake version and
libtoolize shall not be run:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
export AUTOMAKE = automake-1.11
export LIBTOOLIZE = true
