# dh\_gtkmodules(1)

create Gtk module files for Gtk modules

## NAME

dh\_gtkmodules - create Gtk module files for Gtk modules

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_gtkmodules** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_gtkmodules** is a debhelper program that handles correctly generating a dependency on the versionned Gtk+ module ABI and indexes for GdkPixbuf loaders and IM modules that it finds in the Gtk+ module directories.

This command automatically adds a "\<package\>.loaders" file to the current package with the package name or "\<package\>.immodules" if it finds any GdkPixbuf loaders or IM modules.

If this command finds the versionned standard module directory in the current package, it will generate a dependency on the earliest Gtk version that Gtk currently has compatibility for in ${misc:Depends} ("binary version").

## OPTIONS

- **-k**

  Do not generate any dependencies in ${misc:Depends}.

## SEE ALSO

debhelper

This program relies on Debhelper, but is shipped with the Gtk development files.
