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.
