There is no shortage of discussions on how to find dependencies of a package that exists in a distro repos, but I haven't been able to find how to get the dependencies of an arbitrary source package that I want to build.
Specifically, I want to build Python 3.7 on my Debian 9 system. I don't trust the various blog posts I have found on the net about this, I want to find the dependencies myself. Since Python 3.7 is not in the Debian 9 repos, the build-dep
option to apt-get
doesn't help.
Also, I would like to know how to do this more generally, not just in relation to Python 3.7. I'm new to building from source... Have opened a few files in the source folder, to see if I could find the list of dependencies, with no luck.
