Builddep Command

Synopsis

dnf5 builddep [options] [<package>...]

Description

Install missing dependencies for building an RPM package.

Warning

Build dependencies in a source package (i.e. src.rpm) might be different than you would expect because dependencies were evaluated according macros set on the package build host.

Options

--allowerasing: Allow erasing of installed packages to resolve dependencies resolution problems.
--skip-unavailable: Allow skipping build dependencies not available in repositories. All available build dependencies will be installed.
-D "macro expr", --define="macro expr": Define a rpm macro. Set the value “expr” to the macro “macro” when parsing spec files. Does not apply for source rpm files.

Arguments

<package>: Either path to .src.rpm, .nosrc.rpm or .spec file or package available in a repository.

Examples

dnf builddep foobar.spec: Install the needed build requirements, defined in the foobar.spec file.
dnf builddep foobar-1.0-1.src.rpm: Install the needed build requirements, defined in the foobar-1.0-1.src.rpm file.
dnf builddep foobar-1.0-1: Look up foobar-1.0-1 in enabled repositories and install build requirements for its source rpm.
