23.PP
24\fIempath\fR
25Starting with a known package set and a need to cross\-build a new package set from upstream Debian packages, empath plots a cross\-building path through the dependencies to identify the required sequence to build the new packages, starting with packages that only depend on the currently available set.
26.SH "OPTIONS"

34.RS 4
35Specify the target package name to try to build from the current base set.
36\fIempath\fR
37uses the Build\-Depends to determine which dependencies of the target can be cross\-built from the current base set of packages which could be just the cross\-building toolchain packages.

39.PP
40\fB\-l\fR | \fB\-\-list\fR
41.RS 4
42List the current set of packages that will be ignored when looking up the build dependencies of the target packages. These are packages that need to be installed on the cross\-building host but do not need to be installed on the embedded target device.
