Hello dear mentors , please tell me if there is a method of finding the build depends for a piece of software (so i can fill the Build-Depends field of the control file)? I tried to use the script from New Maintainers Guide but it gave me no help.
You can use a chroot to do this. A really nice too to check the build depends of your package is pbuilder. It creates a chroot and builds your package inside it. I will suggest to you take a look on pbuilder. Regards, Nelson
