NAME

dnf-builddep - DNF builddep Plugin

Install whatever is needed to build the given .src.rpm, .nosrc.rpm or .spec file.

WARNING:

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

SYNOPSIS

dnf builddep <package>...

ARGUMENTS

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

OPTIONS

All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details.

--help-cmd: Show this help.
-D <macro expr>, --define <macro expr>: Define the RPM macro named macro to the value expr when parsing spec files. Does not apply for source rpm files.
--spec: Treat arguments as .spec files.
--srpm: Treat arguments as source rpm files.
--skip-unavailable: Skip build dependencies not available in repositories. All available build dependencies will be installed.

Note that builddep command does not honor the –skip-broken option, so there is no way to skip uninstallable packages (e.g. with broken dependencies).

EXAMPLES

dnf builddep foobar.spec: Install the needed build requirements, defined in the foobar.spec file.
dnf builddep --spec foobar.spec.in: Install the needed build requirements, defined in the spec file when filename ends with something different than .spec.
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.
dnf builddep -D 'scl python27' python-foobar.spec: Install the needed build requirements for the python27 SCL version of python-foobar.
