NAME
       yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package

SYNOPSIS
       yum-builddep package

       yum-builddep /path/to/local/package.src.rpm

       yum-builddep /path/to/local/package.spec

DESCRIPTION
       yum-builddep  is  a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the
       specified package.  The source RPM for the specified  package  must  be
       available  in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if
       it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM or a spec file.

       Note, that only the BuildRequires information within  the  SRPM  header
       information is used to determine build dependencies. This will specifi‐
       cally omit any dependencies that are required only for specific  archi‐
       tectures.

GENERAL OPTIONS
       target ARCH
              Set target architecture for spec parsing.

       define 'MACRO EXPR'
              Define the rpm MACRO with value EXPR for spec parsing.

EXAMPLES
       Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM:
              yumdownloader  source kernel && rpm2cpio kernel*src.rpm | cpio
              -i kernel.spec && \
              yum-builddep kernel.spec

       The kernel includes specific BuildRequires dependencies  for  different
       architectures.  In order to make sure that those dependencies are down‐
       loaded and installed, the SRPM should be  downloaded,  the  .spec  file
       extracted from it and used to determine the full dependency list.

FILES
       As  yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information,
       it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repos‐
       itories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/
