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/
