Re: [aur-general] Easy way to find out package dependencies

This would only work if there is some kind of already existing PGKBUILD, but I think he tries to write one from scratch for a software not yet in the official repos or the AUR.

Using namcap and elf2pkgs is then the best solution to figure out the corresponding packages in the repos.

Well, the way I interpreted this was that he was already able to put it together, and was wondering how to find the dependencies without ldd and guesswork:

Say, i want to write the PKGBUILD for a package, and the compilation on my system (.7configure/cmake and make) does work without problems.

Then I don't get a message about missing libraries. So, it's easy to compile the stuff, but needs some effort to find out the dependencies.
