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.
