# `debian-rules-missing-required-target`

The `debian/rules` file does not provide all required targets. Both `build-arch` and `build-indep` must be provided even if they do nothing.

For sources that do not currently split the building of architecture dependent and independent installables, the following rules will fall back on the `build` target:

    build-arch: build
    build-indep: build

Some say that the following form is recommended:

    build: build-arch build-indep
    build-arch: build-stamp
    build-indep: build-stamp
    build-stamp:
        build here

As a modern alternative, you may wish to use the `dh` sequencer instead. Your sources will no longer be affected by this issue.

Policy now requires those targets. Please add them to avoid rejection.

In your next upload, please also close the bug from the mass bug filing you received. Details are described in the message to `debian-devel` cited below.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
