Short: lists dependencies in a binary Author: megacz@usa.com Uploader: megacz usa com Type: util/shell Version: 0.03 Replaces: util/cli/depstrack.lha; util/shell/depstrack.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos;generic depstrack - dependency tracking in binaries [0.03] by megacz@usa.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ /// INTRO ----------- 'depstrack' is an Arexx script(compiled for speed) that will show You *all the dependencies in the binaries, so if there is a proggy that does not start for some reason and does not inform about the requirements through the requester and/or shell or when it comes without the documentation then this is where You can easily see what is needed to start cleanly. By saying '*all the dependencies' I assume these: - *.library - *.device - *-handler - *.datatype - *.class - *.gadget - *.image - *.font - *.mui - *.mcc - *.mcp There might be more, custom suffixes, just look at the '/// COPY & GO' point. /// HISTORY ------------- 19-Mar-2007 [0.01] initial version 22-Mar-2007 [0.02] improved version: completly forgot that LF is not a domain of the binary, now buffer is set accoring to NULL's. libraries with 'Nu' were treat like duplicates - wrong, they might occur only once without the equiv. with no 'Nu'. buffer handling improved, there was a big waste of time, while handling two pools, one pool processed and the second flushed and loaded as the first in the second attempt... added version probing/check, idea by Krister 'Kicko' Skrtic -first method, uses 'rx' and 'version' -second method, uses 'scout' + internals added possibility of entering custom deps. in the arg. line, no need to compile 'special' versions, anymore :) results dumper shows three buffers in one go, think its fast. 27-Mar-2007 [0.03] new things: thanks to: Nick Clover for sending me the "latest" version of 'rexxplslib.library' - the library is in 'contrib/' directory. added version probing that uses 'version' only, thanks to: Javier de las Rivas who reminded me that this is much faster when dealing with '.rexx', see also 'contrib/' directory as there is translated (to his native langauage)and a bit modified version of 'depstrack.rexx' [0.02] 25-Jun-2007 [0.03] new contrib from Javier de las Rivas, this time he localized the 'depstrack.rexx' [0.03]!
