[SOLVED] How to build all project dependencies on Fedora/RedHat-based systems?

On Debian, if I want to compile some package X myself, but I don't want to spend time hunting down and installing its dependencies, I can issue the following command:

Code:

apt-get build-dep X

And apt (so long as it knows about package X) will install all the dependencies for me.

Does the yum package manager on RedHat-based systems have a similar feature?

As it happens, I found the answer - I was looking in the yum man page, but there's a separate utility, yum-builddep, that does exactly what I want.

Cheers!
