how to find dependencies for building debian package?

Question

I want to build a package from git repository, and I don't know how can I find it's dependencies. I used this document, but still I don't know how can I find it's dependencies. http://xenomai.org/2014/06/building-debian-packages/

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

There is a prerequisite section which should be all the required dependencies.

# apt-get install devscripts debhelper dh-kpatches findutils

Also when you are building the package using the steps, it will throw errors if the dependencies aren't met at which point you can install the dependency and resume.
