NAME

       dpkg-genbuilddeps - generate a list of packages used to build this package

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-genbuilddeps [arg ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program is a wrapper around dpkg-depcheck(1).  It should be run from the top of a Debian build tree.  It calls dpkg-buildpackage 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 Build-Depends 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 fakeroot rather than being run as root, as fakeroot dpkg-genbuild-
       deps, or dpkg-genbuilddeps -rfakeroot.

       This program requires the build-essential package to be installed.  If it is not, please use dpkg-depcheck directly, with a command such as
	 dpkg-depcheck --all dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot ...
       All this program itself does is essentially to run the command:
	 dpkg-depcheck -b dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot [arg ...]
