If your version of pkgtool/pkgbuild is 1.3.x, then you could use
pkgtool --download --autodeps build SFEvlc.spec
If your version of pkgtool/pkgbuild is 1.2.x (from the cbe 1.6 install),
then you could try in some few iterations to resolve deps like this:
pkgtool --download build SFEvlc.spec (wich will fail first, but ...)
look at the output:
pkgtool --download build SFEvlc.spec
INFO: Copying %use'd or %include'd spec files to SPECS directory
INFO: Processing spec files
WARNING: skipping package SFEvlc: required package SFEsdl-image not
installed
WARNING: and no spec file specified on the command line provides it
INFO: Hint: use the --autodeps to locate spec files for dependencies
automatically
WARNING: skipping package SFEvlc: required package SFEffmpeg not installed
WARNING: and no spec file specified on the command line provides it
list the dependencies before the SFEvlc.spec:
pkgtool --download build \
SFEsdl-image.spec SFElibdts.spec SFElibgsm.spec SFExvid.spec \
SFEjam.spec SFEfreeglut.spec SFEwxwidgets-gnu.spec SFEgpac.spec \
SFElibx264.spec SFEamrnb.spec SFEamrwb.spec SFEffmpeg.spec \
SFElibebml.spec SFElibmatroska.spec SFElibdvbpsi.spec SFElibcddb.spec \
SFElibmpeg2.spec SFElibupnp.spec SFEvcdimager.spec SFElibtar.spec SFEvlc.spec
(the above is generated and reformatted manually, version 1.3.0 of pkgtool:
pkgtool --autodeps build-order SFEvlc.spec )
Please note, the list above is made on my system, so your system might need
more
packages and pkgtool will list what it is missing, just add the specs before
the first
failing spec. In the example above, add SFEsdl-image before SFEffmpeg before
SFE<some>.

Thomas
