NAME¶

dh_builddeb - build Debian binary packages

SYNOPSIS¶

dh_builddeb [debhelper options] [--destdir=directory] [ --filename=name] [--  params]

DESCRIPTION¶

dh_builddeb simply calls dpkg-deb(1) to build a Debian package or packages. It supports building multiple binary packages in parallel, when enabled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

OPTIONS¶

--destdir=directory

Use this if you want the generated .deb files to be put in a directory other than the default of " ..".

--filename=name

Use this if you want to force the generated .deb file to have a particular file name. Does not work well if more than one .deb is generated!

-- params

Pass params to dpkg-deb(1) when it is used to build the package.

-uparams

This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1). It is deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO¶
