r/Fedora on Reddit: Why does dnf install make packages listed in BuildRequires dependencies?

Hi!
I was just about to install reuse out of curiosity for license management.
When I run dnf install reuse I get this:
$ sudo dnf install reuse Last metadata expiration check: 3:08:59 ago on lör 14 maj 2022 18:12:49. Dependencies resolved. =============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Architecture Version Repository Size =============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Installing: reuse noarch 0.13.0-2.fc36 fedora 363 k Installing dependencies: apt-libs x86_64 2.4.5-1.fc36 updates 1.1 M dpkg x86_64 1.21.7-1.fc36 updates 1.5 M dpkg-perl noarch 1.21.7-1.fc36 updates 259 k perl-Digest-SHA x86_64 1:6.02-480.fc36 fedora 62 k perl-Digest-SHA1 x86_64 2.13-35.fc36 fedora 52 k perl-Tie noarch 4.6-486.fc36 fedora 36 k perl-Time-Piece x86_64 1.3401-486.fc36 fedora 46 k python3-binaryornot noarch 0.4.4-10.fc36 fedora 18 k python3-boolean.py noarch 3.8-6.fc36 fedora 208 k python3-debian noarch 0.1.36-10.fc36 fedora 107 k python3-license-expression noarch 1.0-8.fc36 fedora 45 k Installing weak dependencies: dpkg-dev noarch 1.21.7-1.fc36 updates 1.2 M python3-apt x86_64 2.3.0-1.fc36 fedora 245 k [...]
It seemed weird to me that I needed perl packages and dpkg-dev when the repository contained no perl code and no references to dpkg.
Looking at the spec file I see this:
Name: reuse
Version: 0.13.0
Release: 2%{?dist}
Summary: A tool for compliance with the REUSE recommendations
License: GPLv3+ and CC-BY-SA and ASL 2.0
Url: https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool
Source0: %pypi_source
BuildRequires: python3 >= 3.6
[...]
BuildRequires: %{py3_dist python-debian}
BuildRequires: %{py3_dist requests}
[...]I thought BuildRequires would only be needed when building the package and not during installation. Have I missed something?

That is not what is happening. The module requires python-debian Although that certainly sounds weird.
fedora - How to do everything that 'make install' does with 'install' for a pre-compiled package? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
Anyway, make and make install are pretty much irrelevant to what you want to do - install pre-compiled software. To install pre-compiled software, if you have a package for your distro (e.g. a .rpm or .deb file), then use the distro packaging tools to install it - e.g. dpkg on debian/ubuntu, rpm for fedora etc. If you don't have a copy of the package yet, but it is available as a package for your distro then use apt (debian) or dnf ...

The closest equivalent would probably be to install the below packages:
sudo dnf install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
However, if you don't care about exact equivalence and are ok with pulling in a lot of packages you can install all the development tools and libraries with the below command.
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
On Fedora version older than 32 you will need the following:
sudo dnf groupinstall @development-tools @development-libraries

r/linuxquestions on Reddit: Sudo dnf install where and how
April 27, 2024 -
Hiya everyone,
Giving linux a go and haven't been Able to steer my Googling to answer some questions.
How does the sudo dnf install XXXXX command know where to find the package to install? Does it just know to scan my downloads for the .zip/rpm etc? (I'm talking locally, not adding the github address to the string)
If I use the sudo dnf install, how can I specify it to install on a separate drive/partition?
Tell me like I'm 4, cause I'm just winging it and googling.
Thank you!
Edit: Im running nobara/fedora.

There's at least one software repository, and if you tell dnf to install a package, it will install a package by that name if it exists in the repository, along with its dependencies. If you tell it to install a package that doesn't have a matching name in the repository, you'll get an error back. Fortunately, dnf has a search function that can help you track packages down if you guess wrong, and an info function that gives you a description of the package so that you can have a better idea of what that package will give you. Normally, installation is only done by the root user, but the sudo command allows a sudoer (user with sudo privileges) to do it. Package managers typically install packages and their dependencies in the right place. They also update packages automatically whenever you run dnf update. Once you get used to it, it's a lot smoother and more convenient than Windows. Manually updating every program as I begin to use it just feels clunkier to me than issuing one command to update all packages that have updates available. It's better for security too, since you're not leaving a background process that you never think about on an old version.

Run the command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Chances are you will need things like gcc to actually do the building so you might as well install those as well. The build-essential package will install other tools used along with make.

Well, you're running command -v, which is documented like this:
-v print a description of COMMAND similar to the `type' builtin
If you run it from the command line:
$ command -v cat /etc/debian_version
/bin/cat
So, both those variables contain the string /bin/cat, and neither one of them is empty so your ifdef is always true.
Probably you want to take out the -v.

Your error here is that variables have wrong values.
Better use wildcard to check file presence:
REDHATOS := $(wildcard /etc/redhat-release*)
DEBIANOS := $(wildcard /etc/debian_version*)
Free tip: :-)
ifneq($(DEBIANOS),)
PKG_INSTALLER := apt-get
endif
