NAME
dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-checkbuilddeps [option...] [control-file]
DESCRIPTION
This program checks the installed packages in the system against the build dependencies
and build conflicts listed in the control file. If any are not met, it displays them and
exits with a nonzero return code.
By default, debian/control is read, but an alternate control filename may be specified on
the command line.
OPTIONS
--admindir=dir
Change the location of the dpkg database (since dpkg 1.14.0). The default location is
/var/lib/dpkg.
-A Ignore Build-Depends-Arch and Build-Conflicts-Arch lines (since dpkg 1.16.4). Use
when only arch-indep packages will be built, or combine with -B when only a source
package is to be built.
-B Ignore Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep lines. Use when only arch-dep
packages will be built, or combine with -A when only a source package is to be built.
-I Ignore built-in build depends and conflicts (since dpkg 1.18.2). These are implicit
dependencies that are usually required on a specific distribution, the so called
Build-Essential package set.
-d build-depends-string
-c build-conflicts-string
Use the given build dependencies/conflicts instead of those contained in the
debian/control file (since dpkg 1.14.17).
-a arch
Check build dependencies/conflicts assuming that the package described in the control
file is to be built for the given host architecture instead of the architecture of the
current system (since dpkg 1.16.2).
-P profile[,...]
Check build dependencies/conflicts assuming that the package described in the control
file is to be built for the given build profile(s) (since dpkg 1.17.2). The argument
is a comma-separated list of profile names.
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
ENVIRONMENT
DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
If set, it will be used as the active build profile(s) for the package being built. It
is a space separated list of profile names. Overridden by the -P option.
DPKG_COLORS
Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5). The currently accepted values are: auto
(default), always and never.
DPKG_NLS
If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language Support, also
known as internationalization (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0). The accepted
values are: 0 and 1 (default).
