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. The default location is /var/lib/dpkg.

       -A     Ignore Build-Depends-Arch and Build-Conflicts-Arch lines. 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.

       -d build-depends-string

       -c build-conflicts-string
              Use the given build dependencies/conflicts instead of those contained in the debian/control file.

       -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.

       -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). The argument is a comma-separated list of profile  names,
              without the "profile." namespace prefix.

       -?, --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, without the "profile." namespace prefix.  Overridden  by  the  -P
              option.
