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).
