dpkg-genbuilddeps(1)


NAME

   dpkg-genbuilddeps  -  generate  a  list  of packages used to build this
   package

SYNOPSIS

   dpkg-genbuilddeps [arg ...]

DESCRIPTION

   This program is a wrapper around dpkg-depcheck(1).  It  should  be  run
   from  the  top of a Debian build tree.  It calls dpkg-buildpackage with
   any arguments given on the command line, and by tracing  the  execution
   of  this,  it  determines which non-essential packages were used during
   the package building.  This can  be  useful  in  determining  what  the
   Build-Depends  control  fields  should  contain.  It does not determine
   which packages were used for the arch independent parts  of  the  build
   and  which  for  the  arch  dependent  parts,  not  does  it attempt to
   determine which versions of packages are required.  It should  be  able
   to  run under fakeroot rather than being run as root, as fakeroot dpkg-
   genbuilddeps, or dpkg-genbuilddeps -rfakeroot.

   This program requires the build-essential package to be installed.   If
   it is not, please use dpkg-depcheck directly, with a command such as
     dpkg-depcheck --all dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot ...
   All this program itself does is essentially to run the command:
     dpkg-depcheck -b dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot [arg ...]
