15 Autobuildrequires analyzes an RPM package build to find out what
16 BuildRequires lines it needs.
17
18 Instead of using "rpmbuild", use this command:
19
20 auto-br-rpmbuild -ba foo.spec
21
22 (all the usual rpmbuild flags are supported). The command will build
23 your package and then output a list of "BuildRequires" lines that it
24 thinks your package needs.
25
26 If your build command is more complex and/or doesn't use rpmbuild, then
27 use:
28
29 auto-br [build-command ...]
30
31 For example:
32
33 auto-br make
34
36 The basic "magic" is a C "LD_PRELOAD" module,
37 auto-buildrequires-preload.c, which intercepts some system calls to
38 determine which files the build is looking at. Those get logged to a
39 simple text file.
40
41 The Perl analysis script, auto-br-analyze.pl, runs afterwards on the
42 logfile, and uses rpm to find out which packages those files belong to.
43 Those are printed out as the list of BuildRequires.
44
45 A shell script, auto-br, brings the whole thing together.
46
48 This program returns 0 if successful, or non-zero if there was an
49 error.
