SYNOPSIS

mk-build-deps –help|–version

DESCRIPTION

Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all the build dependencies of the given package.

If –build-dep and/or –build-indep are given, then the resulting binary package(s) will depend solely on the Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively.
