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

debhelper(7)

This program is a part of debhelper.
