dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts
dpkg-checkbuilddeps [
option...] [
control-file]
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.
-
--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.
- 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).
