mk-build-deps(1)


NAME

   mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's
   build-dependencies

SYNOPSIS

   mk-build-deps --help|--version

   mk-build-deps [options] control file | package name ...

DESCRIPTION

   Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs
   to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all the
   build dependencies of the given package.

   If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting
   binary package(s) will depend solely on the
   Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively.

OPTIONS

   -i, --install
       Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies.

   -t, --tool
       When installing the generated package use the specified tool.
       (default: apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes
       --no-install-recommends)

   -r, --remove
       Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used
       without the --install switch.

   -a foo, --arch foo
       Set the architecture of the produced binary package to foo. If this
       option is not given, fall back to the value given by --host-arch.
       If neither this option nor --host-arch are given but the Build-
       Depends contain architecture restrictions, use the value printed by
       `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`.  Otherwise, use all.

       The package architecture must be equal to the host architecture
       except if the package architecture is all.

       The package architecture cannot be all if the build and host
       architecture differ.

   --host-arch foo
       Set the host architecture the binary package is built for. This
       defaults to the value printed by `dpkg-architecture
       -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary package that
       is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies.

       If this option is used together with --arch, then they must be
       equal except if the value of --arch is all.

       If --arch is not given, then this option also sets the package
       architecture.

   --build-arch foo
       Set the build architecture the binary package is built for. This
       defaults to the value printed by `dpkg-architecture
       -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary package that
       is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies.

   -B, --build-dep
       Generate a package which only depends on the source package's
       Build-Depends dependencies.

   -A, --build-indep
       Generate a package which only depends on the source package's
       Build-Depends-Indep dependencies.

   -h, --help
       Show a summary of options.

   -v, --version
       Show version and copyright information.

   -s, --root-cmd
       Use the specified tool to gain root privileges before installing.
       Ignored if used without the --install switch.
