collect-bin-deps 0.0.2

A tool to collect binary dependencies

collect-bin-deps.py

A tool to collect binary dependencies - typically shared libraries required by an executable.

Requirements

• pefile, pyelftools package

Usage

Simplest case:

collect-bin-deps.py -t <my exe file> <directory with dependency>...

Notes

• The "debug info" doesn't try to locate the debug info file using the information contained in the binaries or so, it just looks for files with the same basename as a dependency but with extensions used for debug info files.

Limitations

• Currently supports Windows (PE) and Linux (ELF) binaries.

Inspiration

vcpkg can provide this functionality out of the box, realized with a PowerShell script. collect-bin-deps.py qs written from scratch to provide the same functionality.
