If such a file exits, the program will exit with an error. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B debhelper options +See +.BR debhelper (1) +for a list of options common to all debhelper commands. +.TP +.B \-mmajor, \--major=major +Instead of trying to guess the major number of the library from the filename +of the library, use the major number specified after the -m parameter. +.TP +.B \-V[dependancies], \--version-info, \--version-info=dependancies +By default, the shlibs file generated by this program does not make packages +depend on any particular version of the package containing the shared +library. It may be necessary for you to add some version dependancy +information to the shlibs file. If -V is specified with no dependancy +information, the current version of the package is plugged into a dependancy +that looks like "packagename (>= packageversion)". If -V is specified with +parameters, the parameters can be used to specify the exact dependancy +information needed (be sure to include the package name). +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +.B dh_makeshlibs +Assuming this is a package named libfoobar1, generates a shlibs file that +looks something like: + libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 +.TP +.B dh_makeshlibs \-V +Assuming the current version of the package is 1.0-3, generates a shlibs +file that looks something like: + libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0-3) +.TP +.B dh_makeshlibs \-V "'libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)'" +Generates a shlibs file that looks something like: + libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0) +.SH ENVIRONMENT +See +.BR debhelper (1) +for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR debhelper (1) +.SH BUGS +There is no guarantee that the program will get the shlibs file right. For +example, it may not correctly guess the major number of your package. In +cases like these (and perhaps in general, just to be safe), it is better to +create a debian/shlibs file by hand, or force it to use the correct major +number by specifying the -m parameter. +.P +This is a "do what I Mean" type program - you have been warned! +.SH AUTHOR +Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> |
