DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1) Debhelper DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1)
NAME
dh_auto_clean - automatically cleans up after a build
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_clean [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean
up after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command
for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if
there's a Makefile and it contains a distclean, realclean, or clean
target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment
variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is run to
clean the package.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
or tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using
dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean 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_clean usually passes.
SEE ALSO

This program is a part of debhelper.
