SYNOPSIS
debian/rules
DESCRIPTION
This file contains the instructions necessary to build the binary pack‐
ages 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 archi‐
tecture indepdenent 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 archi‐
tecture 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 privi‐
leges.
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.
