NAME

       dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-checkbuilddeps [options] [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.

       -B     Ignore  Build-Depends-Indep  lines.  Use  when   no   arch-indep
              packages will 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.

       -h, --help
              Show the usage message and exit.
