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

-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.

--with=OPTION, --without=OPTION

Enable or disable conditional build OPTION when parsing spec files. Does not apply for source rpm files.

--allowerasing

Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.

--skip-unavailable

Allow skipping packages that are not possible to downgrade. All remaining packages will be downgraded.

--allow-downgrade

Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.

--no-allow-downgrade

Disable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.

--spec

Treat command line arguments following this option as spec files.

--srpm

Treat command line arguments following this option as source rpms.

Arguments

<package>

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