DH_QMLCDEPS(1)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

dh_qmlcdeps β€” she generates proper dependencies for QML cache files, no cap ✨

This page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual section, bestie β€” that's where all the cute little dh_ helper scripts hang out 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

dh_qmlcdeps [debhelper options]

That's it, that's the whole vibe check 🌸


πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

Okay so real talk: dh_qmlcdeps is a debhelper program, and she is booked and busy πŸ’… Here's her whole routine:

  • She goes looking for *.qmlc files in the package temporary locations. Those are the ones generated by qmlcachegen, if you were wondering 🧚
  • She does a sanity check on them. Gotta make sure everything's giving what it's supposed to give, periodt πŸ™ˆ
  • Then she adds a dependency on the libqt5qml5 package to the ${qmlc:Depends} substitution variable β€” the whole point being to make sure that version matches the Qt version living inside those files. Version mismatch? Not on her watch πŸ’€

And here's the glow-up tip: you can pass --with qmlcdeps to dh(1), and she'll automatically call dh_qmlcdeps right after dh_install. Set it and forget it, she handles herself 😌✨
