Get build dependencies with zypper

Filed under: Linux, SUSE — Tags: , , — sontek @ 11:59 pm

When you are working with the source of a new package on openSUSE and aren’t familiar with all of its dependencies, it gets quite annoying running the normal Linux autconf commands–./autogen.sh, install missing dependency, rinse, wash, and repeat–until you finally have everything you need installed.

zypper makes this easy for us with the following command:

$ sudo zypper si -d <package>

You replace <package> with whatever package’s build dependencies you need.
