NAME
       dnf5-builddep - 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.


EXAMPLES

       dnf builddep foobar.spec

              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.
