It should be +run from the top of a Debian build tree. It calls +\fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR with any arguments given on the command line, +and by tracing the execution of this, it determines which +non-essential packages were used during the package building. This +can be useful in determining what the \fIBuild-Depends\fR control +fields should contain. It does not determine which packages were used +for the arch independent parts of the build and which for the arch +dependent parts, not does it attempt to determine which versions of +packages are required. It should be able to run under \fBfakeroot\fR +rather than being run as root, as \fBfakeroot dpkg-genbuilddeps\fR, or +\fBdpkg-genbuilddeps \-rfakeroot\fR. +.PP +This program requires the build-essential package to be installed. If +it is not, please use \fBdpkg-depcheck\fR directly, with a command +such as +.nf + dpkg-depcheck \-\-all dpkg-buildpackage \-us \-uc \-b \-rfakeroot ... +.fi +All this program itself does is essentially to run the command: +.nf + dpkg-depcheck \-b dpkg-buildpackage \-us \-uc \-b \-rfakeroot [arg ...] +.fi +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR dpkg-depcheck (1), +.BR fakeroot (1) + +.B The Debian Policy Manual, +sections on Build-Depends etc. +.SH AUTHOR +The original \fBdpkg-genbuilddeps\fR was written by Ben Collins +<bcollins@debian.org>.
