DH_BUILDDEB(1)                  Debhelper                 DH_BUILDDEB(1)

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 will also build dbgsym packages when dh_strip(1)
       and dh_gencontrol(1) have prepared them.

       It supports building multiple binary packages in parallel, when
       enabled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

       When the Rules-Requires-Root field is not (effectively) binary-
       targets, dh_builddeb will pass --root-owner-group to dpkg-deb(1).

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.
