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.
Options
All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details.
--help-cmd
Show this help.
-D<macroexpr>,--define<macroexpr>
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).
