NAME

6       mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's
7       build-dependencies
8

SYNOPSIS

10       mk-build-deps --help|--version
11
12       mk-build-deps [options] control file | package name ...
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs
16       to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all the
17       build dependencies of the given package.
18
19       If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting
20       binary package(s) will depend solely on the
21       Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively.
22

OPTIONS

24       -i, --install
25           Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies.
26
27       -t, --tool
28           When installing the generated package use the specified tool.
29           (default: apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes
30           --no-install-recommends)
31
32       -r, --remove
33           Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used
34           without the --install switch.
35
36       -a foo, --arch foo
37           Set the architecture of the produced binary package to foo. If this
38           option is not given, fall back to the value given by --host-arch.
39           If neither this option nor --host-arch are given but the Build-
40           Depends contain architecture restrictions, use the value printed by
41           `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`.  Otherwise, use all.
42
43           The package architecture must be equal to the host architecture
44           except if the package architecture is all.
45
46           The package architecture cannot be all if the build and host
47           architecture differ.
48
49       --host-arch foo
50           Set the host architecture the binary package is built for. This
51           defaults to the value printed by `dpkg-architecture
52           -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary package that
53           is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies.
54
55           If this option is used together with --arch, then they must be
56           equal except if the value of --arch is all.
57
58           If --arch is not given, then this option also sets the package
59           architecture.
60
61       --build-arch foo
62           Set the build architecture the binary package is built for. This
63           defaults to the value printed by `dpkg-architecture
64           -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary package that
65           is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies.
66
67       -B, --build-dep
68           Generate a package which only depends on the source package's
69           Build-Depends dependencies.
70
71       -A, --build-indep
72           Generate a package which only depends on the source package's
73           Build-Depends-Indep dependencies.
74
75       -P, --build-profiles profile[,...]
76           Generate a package which only depends on build dependencies with
77           the build profile(s), given as a comma-separated list.  The default
78           behavior is to use no specific profile.  Setting this option will
79           override the DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable.
80
81       -h, --help
82           Show a summary of options.
83
84       -v, --version
85           Show version and copyright information.
86
87       -s, --root-cmd
88           Use the specified tool to gain root privileges before installing.
89           Ignored if used without the --install switch.
90

ENVIRONMENT

92   External environment
93       DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
94           If set, it will be used as the active build profile(s) for the
95           build dependencies to be installed.  It is a space separated list
96           of profile names.  Overridden by the -P option.
