Usage: mk-build-deps --help|--version mk-build-deps [*options*] *control file* | *package name* ... 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 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes --no-install-recommends) -r, --remove Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch. -a *foo*, --arch *foo* Set the architecture of the produced binary package to *foo*. If this option is not given, fall back to the value given by --host-arch. If neither this option nor --host-arch are given but the Build-Depends contain architecture restrictions, use the value printed by `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`. Otherwise, use *all*. The package architecture must be equal to the host architecture except if the package architecture is *all*. The package architecture cannot be *all* if the build and host architecture differ. --host-arch *foo* Set the host architecture the binary package is built for. This defaults to the value printed by `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary package that is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies. If this option is used together with --arch, then they must be equal except if the value of --arch is *all*. If --arch is not given, then this option also sets the package architecture. --build-arch *foo* Set the build architecture the binary package is built for. This defaults to the value printed by `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`. Use this option to create a binary package that is able to satisfy crossbuild dependencies. -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. Default settings modified by devscripts configuration files: (none)
