=head1 NAME

dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building

=cut

use strict;
use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Buildsystems;

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<dh_auto_configure> [S<I<build system options>>] [S<I<debhelper options>>] [S<B<--> I<params>>]

=head1 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.

=head1 OPTIONS

See L<debhelper(7)/BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS> for a list of common build
system selection and control options.

=over 4

=item B<--> I<params>

Pass "params" to the program that is run, after the standard
parameters that dh_auto_configure passes. This can be used to supplement
or override those parameters. For example:

  dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar
