When I download some package sources, (e.g. foo-[ver].orig.tar.gz, foo-[ver].dsc), I often encounter dependencies problem while using dpkg-source -x foo-[ver].dsc and dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc .... In this case, I have to install the building dependencies one by one. Is there some tool to automatically handle this case, e.g., dpkg-source-dependencies -x foo-[ver].dsc?

It prepares the build environment by setting various environment variables (see ENVIRONMENT), runs the init hook, and calls dpkg-source --before-build (unless -T or --target has been used). 2. It checks that the build-dependencies and build-conflicts are satisfied (unless -d or --no-check-builddeps is specified).
A Debian or APT repository is a server or a local directory containing packages files and their metadata readable by the APT tools. Hence, on all the Debian-based distributions, the APT Package management system maintains repositories inside the main configuration file /etc/apt/sources. list.
A Debian source package contains the source material used to construct one or more binary packages. A source package consists of a . dsc file (see Debian source control files – . dsc), one or more compressed tar files, and possibly other files depending on the type and format of source package.
There are two types of Debian packages: Binary packages, which contain executables, configuration files, man/info pages, copyright information, and other documentation.
When trying to build a package the following should grab all dependencies:
apt-get build-dep [package-name]
Also, apt-get can compile source packages if needs be:
apt-get --build [package-name]

There are several ways to go about this (as seen from the other replies). For a package that is already part of a repository, you can simply use:
apt-get build-dep pkgname
For local packages, one of:
apt-get build-dep source-dir/
apt-get build-dep source-name.dsc
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends* --control source-name.dsc
mk-build-deps --install source-name.dsc
pbuilder build source-name.dsc
sbuild source-name.dsc
There are probably other solutions, but the above are the most widely used.
