I am little overwhelmed by all responses.

I appreciate the ones actually answering my original post.

Thanks for those - it really helps.
I do not care for now very common administrative nagging / tagging and like to make sure the "guilty " knows that.
And let us leave it at that.
I am not sure why knowing the environment is important - I was asking about bash command

which IMHO should and apparently was enough to get the replies.

So - the OS is Ubuntu, the task is to find out why "bluez" package" configure" does not build (C++) library of requested architecture.



If possible I like to keep specific code questions and analyzes of "configure" separate.

From other forum experience - some administrators do not read the post and feel like I am reposing stuff.
Doing so it makes my troubleshooting process more manageable than trying to keep everything 'under one roof".



Cheers

NAME
dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_configure [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params] DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically configure a package prior to building. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, it looks for and runs a ./configure script, Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set of parameters is determined and passed to the program that is run. Some build systems, such as make, do not need a configure step; for these dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything. This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_configure at all, and just run ./configure or its equivalent manually. OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options. -- params Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_configure usually passes. For example: dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
