dh-autoreconf

DH-AUTORECONF(7)						   dh-autoreconf						  DH-AUTORECONF(7)

NAME

       dh-autoreconf - debhelper add-on to run autoreconf during build

DESCRIPTION

       The dh-autoreconf package provides a sequence addon for debhelper 7 which can be used in the following way:

	   #!/usr/bin/make -f
	   %:
	       dh $@ --with autoreconf

       This will call dh_autoreconf prior to dh_auto_configure and will call dh_autoreconf_clean before dh_clean.

       For more information on how to control the autoreconf process or how to other possible options, read the dh_autoreconf(1) and
       dh_autoreconf_clean(1) manual pages.

CDBS INTEGRATION

       This package also provides /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk for packages using CDBS. The variable "DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_ARGS" can be used
       to pass extra arguments to dh_autoreconf, and the variable "DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_CLEAN_ARGS" to pass arguments to dh_autoreconf_clean. See
       their manual pages for information on available arguments.

TIPS AND EXAMPLES

   PATCHING LTMAIN.SH FOR AS-NEEDED LINKER FLAGS
       You can add support for -Wl,--as-needed to ltmain.sh (at least for those ltmain.sh scripts changed during autoreconf) by passing the
       argument --as-needed to dh_autoreconf, as demonstrated in the following example:

	   #!/usr/bin/make -f
	   %:
	       dh $@ --with autoreconf
	   override_dh_autoreconf:
	       dh_autoreconf --as-needed

       and for CDBS, by adding it to the correct variable such as:

	   DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_ARGS = --as-needed

       For more information about this feature, see dh_autoreconf(1)

   RUNNING MULTIPLE COMMANDS WITH DH_AUTORECONF
       Please note that you may run dh_autoreconf only once. If you need to run multiple commands, you can put the commands into a script or your
       debian/rules file and then pass the name of your script to dh_autoreconf. For example, if your script is called debian/autogen.sh, you can
       put the following into your debian/rules if you use dh:

	   override_dh_autoreconf:
	       dh_autoreconf debian/autogen.sh

       Or, if you use CDBS:

	   DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_ARGS += debian/autogen.sh

CAVEATS

       dh_autoreconf is a superset of the autotools-dev debhelper addons, so you do not need --with=autotools_dev if you use --with=autoreconf. In
       fact, in most cases they should not be used together, as it may lead to unpredictable behaviour.

       From time to time, there might be a short breakage for those using automatic ltmain.sh patching, when the patch now longer applies to the
       ltmain.sh.

       You can only run dh_autoreconf once. Future versions may be able to be run multiple times, but this requires slightly more planning.
