NAME
deb-src-rules - Debian source package rules file
SYNOPSIS
debian/rules
DESCRIPTION
This file contains the instructions necessary to build the binary packages from the source
package.
The debian/rules file is an executable Makefile, with a shebang that is usually set to
"#!/usr/bin/make -f".
It must support the following make targets:
clean
Clean up the source tree, by undoing any change done by any of the build and binary
targets. This target will be called with root privileges.
build-indep
Build architecture independent files required to build any architecture independent
binary package. If there are no architecture independent binary packages to generate,
the target must still exist but do nothing. This target must not require root
privileges.
build-arch
Build architecture dependent files required to build any architecture dependent binary
package. If there are no architecture dependent binary packages to generate, the
target must still exist but do nothing. This target must not require root privileges.
build
Build architecture independent and dependent files, either by depending (at least
transitively) on build-indep and/or build-arch or by inlining what those targets would
do. This target must not require root privileges.
binary-indep
Build architecture independent binary packages. This target must depend (at least
transitively) on either build-indep or build. This target will be called with root
privileges.
binary-arch
Build architecture dependent binary packages. This target must depend (at least
transitively) on either build-arch or build. This target will be called with root
privileges.
binary
Build architecture independent and dependent binary packages, either by depending (at
least transitively) on binary-indep and/or binary-arch or by inlining what those
targets would do. This target will be called with root privileges.
