DH_INSTALLDIRS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLDIRS(1)
NAME
dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installdirs [debhelper options] [-A] [--sourcedir=dir]
[--create-in-sourcedir] [dir ...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
subdirectories in package build directories.
Many packages can get away with omitting the call to dh_installdirs
completely. Notably, other dh_* commands are expected to create
directories as needed.
FILES
debian/package.dirs
Lists directories to be created in package.
Generally, there is no need to list directories created by the
upstream build system or directories needed by other debhelper
commands.
Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
documented in debhelper(7).
OPTIONS
-A, --all
Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL
packages acted on, not just the first.
--create-in-sourcedir, --no-create-in-sourcedir
Whether to create the specified directories in the source directory
(usually debian/tmp) in addition to in the package build directory
(usually debian/package).
The default is --no-create-in-sourcedir.
--sourcedir=dir
Consider dir the source directory for the packages acted on instead
of the default (which is usually debian/tmp).
Please note that this option is dependent on the
--create-in-sourcedir option (when --no-create-in-sourcedir is in
effect, this option does nothing in dh_installdirs).
dir ...
Create these directories in the package build directory of the
first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified.)
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
