small script to help find dependencies

jk · 2002-11-09 15:23:34

Hi, here's a small bash script to help packagers a bit with checking dependencies of dynamically linked executables. Maybe someone can find a use for it :-)

-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
LIBS=`ldd $1 |awk '{print $3}'`

(for lib in $LIBS; do
pacman -Qo $lib
done) | sort | uniq
-----------------------------------------

Output is as follows:

[jochem@lisa jochem]$ archdep /usr/bin/fluxconf
atk 1.0.3-2
freetype2 2.0.9-2
glib2 2.0.7-1
glibc 2.3.1-1
gtk2 2.0.7-2
pango 1.0.4-4
xfree86 4.2.1-2
[jochem@lisa jochem]$

2 thumbs up!

this can be very usefull for people who make their own packages.
thank you

Couldn't live with the slowness of pacman -Qo, so i rewrote archdep a bit and a new script called archown, get them at:

http://jk.yazzy.org/resources/ArchLinux/scripts/archdep
http://jk.yazzy.org/resources/ArchLinux/scripts/archown

It makes archdep _much_ _much_ faster...

Now working on a small script which shows dependencies of a package instead of a file... 8)

(yes, i absolutely hate dependency hells)

And here it is:

http://jk.yazzy.org/resources/ArchLinux … s/archpdep

usage: archpdep packagename
for example: archpdep fluxbox

Remember, this only checks dynamically linked
executables and shared libraries. For example, this is useless for packages that
install scripts.

I changed the script a little to use pkgfile instead of pacman -Qo

Yay? You really didn't need to necrobump a 15 year old thread to let us know..
