[solved]Makepkg with dependencies missing

Sorry if this is a repost from : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78054

I have built "catalyst-utils" and now I would like to build "catalyst" (with makepkg). But "catalyst" requires "catalyst-utils" as a dependency. I don't want to install "catalyst-utils" yet. I am just interesting in building the two packages without installing anything.

Is it possible to build catalyst without installing the dependent package (catalyst-utils) ?

I do try to find the answer in wikis ... but so far no luck ... I have makepkg -s which does not seem to be what I want (apparently it will install the dependent packages). I have makepkg -d but then do I have a check at installation time ?

Thanks.

makepkg -d should do what you want.  Just keep in mind that the build may fail, and you'll have to install catalyst-utils first.  What's the problem with doing that, though?  Just uninstall it after.

Yep, it worked fine. I guess I was just kind of very careful with this installation.
Thanks
