yum-builddep(1)                                           yum-builddep(1)
       yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM
       package
       yum-builddep package
       yum-builddep /path/to/local/package.src.rpm
       yum-builddep /path/to/local/package.spec
       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 specifically omit any dependencies that are required only for
       specific architectures.
       --target ARCH
              Set target architecture for spec parsing.
       --define 'MACRO EXPR'
              Define the rpm MACRO with value EXPR for spec parsing.
       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 downloaded and installed, the SRPM should be
       downloaded, the .spec file extracted from it and used to determine
       the full dependency list.
       As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the
       information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values
       like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for
       details:
       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/
       yum.conf(5)

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should
       first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
       and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing
       list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use
       http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and
       http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
