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 -o
Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes --no-install-recommends)
-r, --remove
Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install
switch.
-a foo, --arch foo
Set the architecture of the produced binary package to foo. If this option is not
given, fall back to the value given by --host-arch. If neither this option nor
--host-arch are given but the Build-Depends contain architecture restrictions, use the
value printed by `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`. Otherwise, use all.
The package architecture must be equal to the host architecture except if the package
architecture is all.
The package architecture cannot be all if the build and host architecture differ.
--host-arch foo
Set the host architecture the binary package is built for. This defaults to the value
printed by `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary
package that is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies.
If this option is used together with --arch, then they must be equal except if the
value of --arch is all.
If --arch is not given, then this option also sets the package architecture.
--build-arch foo
Set the build architecture the binary package is built for. This defaults to the value
printed by `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary
package that is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies.
-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.
-P, --build-profiles profile[,...]
Generate a package which only depends on build dependencies with the build profile(s),
given as a comma-separated list. The default behavior is to use no specific profile.
Setting this option will override the DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable.
-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.
ENVIRONMENT
External environment
DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
If set, it will be used as the active build profile(s) for the build dependencies to
be installed. It is a space separated list of profile names. Overridden by the -P
option.
