NAME

6       dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dpkg-checkbuilddeps [option...]  [control-file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  program  checks  the installed packages in the system against the
13       build dependencies and build conflicts listed in the control  file.  If
14       any are not met, it displays them and exits with a nonzero return code.
15
16       By  default,  debian/control is read, but an alternate control filename
17       may be specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

20       --admindir=dir
21              Change the location of the dpkg database  (since  dpkg  1.14.0).
22              The default location is /var/lib/dpkg.
23
24       -A     Ignore  Build-Depends-Arch and Build-Conflicts-Arch lines (since
25              dpkg 1.16.4).  Use when only arch-indep packages will be  built,
26              or combine with -B when only a source package is to be built.
27
28       -B     Ignore  Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep lines. Use
29              when only arch-dep packages will be built, or  combine  with  -A
30              when only a source package is to be built.
31
32       -I     Ignore built-in build depends and conflicts (since dpkg 1.18.2).
33              These are implicit dependencies that are usually required  on  a
34              specific  distribution,  the  so  called Build-Essential package
35              set.
36
37       -d build-depends-string
38
39       -c build-conflicts-string
40              Use the given  build  dependencies/conflicts  instead  of  those
41              contained in the debian/control file (since dpkg 1.14.17).
42
43       -a arch
44              Check  build  dependencies/conflicts  assuming  that the package
45              described in the control file is to be built for the given  host
46              architecture  instead  of the architecture of the current system
47              (since dpkg 1.16.2).
48
49       -P profile[,...]
50              Check build dependencies/conflicts  assuming  that  the  package
51              described in the control file is to be built for the given build
52              profile(s) (since  dpkg  1.17.2).   The  argument  is  a  comma-
53              separated list of profile names.
54
55       -?, --help
56              Show the usage message and exit.
57
58       --version
59              Show the version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

62       DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
63              If  set,  it will be used as the active build profile(s) for the
64              package being built. It is a space  separated  list  of  profile
65              names. Overridden by the -P option.
66
67       DPKG_COLORS
68              Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).  The currently accepted
69              values are: auto (default), always and never.
70
71       DPKG_NLS
72              If set, it will be used to decide  whether  to  activate  Native
73              Language  Support,  also known as internationalization (or i18n)
74              support (since dpkg 1.19.0).  The accepted values are: 0  and  1
75              (default).
