mk-build-deps
MK-BUILD-DEPS(1) 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 --no-install-recommends)
-r, --remove
Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch.
-a foo, --arch foo
If the source package has architecture-specific build dependencies, produce a package for architecture foo, not for the system
architecture. (If the source package does not have architecture-specific build dependencies, the package produced is always for the
pseudo-architecture all.)
-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.
