dpkg-dev has dpkg-checkbuilddeps which also has the -a switch for foreign architectures. But it has two problems: - the string it outputs contains versions in a format not compatible with the apt-get command line. - even with -a it doesnt seem to append architecture qualifiers to package name (package:arch) But dpkg-checkbuilddeps could probably easily be used as a template for a script that is able to feed apt. > > Does a tool exist that can be told "install the build-depends needed > > to build the debianised source tree in directory x for architecture > > y"? if not IMO such a tool (or a new option in an existing tool) > > needs to be created. > > The dose3 tools can produce the same answers as apt for this problem, > and could quite easily be modified to look at a local source package > rather than only at packages files.

When we talked about it, I did some quick hacking and created some patches for the dose3 parser so that it would also be able to read debian/control files. When I was in Paris we didnt talk much about dose3 but more about my code. I will ask Pietro about the best way to integrate this into dose3 on the debian-bootstrap list [1] today. > I have just created (following on from PJ McDermott's GSOC work) a > cross-build-essential source package that makes > crossbuild-essential-<arch> packages to bring in cross-gcc, cross-g++, > dpkg-cross (aka cross-support) pkg-config-<triplet>.

And it needs wanna-build fixing (support for architecture qualifiers eg package:arch) in Debian. cheers, josch [1] http://lists.mister-muffin.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-bootstrap -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
