Package: debhelper
Version: 7.2.9
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I have a package which needs me to pass 'PREFIX=/usr' to the $MAKE
call in the build rule and 'DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/package DOC="NEWS
TODO CONTRIBUTORS" PREFIX=/usr' in the install rule. I have not found
an easier way to achieve this with debhelper than using
override_dh_auto_build and override_dh_auto_install rules. However,
instead of overriding the complete $MAKE call, it would be nice if
there were environment variables that dh listens to which tell what
arguments are to be passed to $MAKE.
In my case this proposal would turn this debian/rules:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
override_dh_auto_build:
$(MAKE) PREFIX=/usr
override_dh_auto_install:
$(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/package DOC="NEWS TODO
CONTRIBUTORS" PREFIX=/usr
into for example this:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
DH_AUTO_BUILD_TARGET += PREFIX=/usr
DH_AUTO_INSTALL_TARGET += install PREFIX=/usr
DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/hot-babe DOC="NEWS TODO CONTRIBUTORS"
%:
dh $@
Cheers,
Fabian

That path leads to CDBS, and debhelper is not going there.
The override_dh_auto_build is a fine solution to this problem, since
it lets you customize the entire make call as well if necessary, and
it is very clear what it does and does not require learning a new
environment variable.
