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
           --no-install-recommends)

       -r, --remove
           Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch.

       -a foo, --arch foo
           If  the  source  package  has  architecture-specific  build  dependencies,  produce  a  package   for
           architecture foo, not for the system architecture. (If the source package does not have architecture-
           specific build dependencies, the package produced is always for the pseudo-architecture all.)

       -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.

       -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.
