= Depspec =

Depspec is a small program written in Python that allows you to view a Binaries Dependencies (and symbols that it exports/imports from deps), currently it supports ELF (via marienz'es elf.py) and PE (via. diSlib64). also planned is UT package files (using the parser I wrote) and while it's not really a binary format gentoo ebuilds.

Depspec is highly modeled after [http://www.dependencywalker.com/ Dependency Walker], and was initially made as a linux-compatable alternative to it, however currently it doesn't have all the features and doesn't integrate in windows as well as dependency walker (would like to fill out most of the features, but some things (symbol demangling fex.) are a bit hard).

[[Anchor(Requirements)]]
== Requirements ==
Depspec requires [http://python.org Python] (2.5+), ["tfplib"], [http://gtk.org Gtk+] and [http://pygtk.org PyGtk] (in windows [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ pywin32] is also required). eventually there should be support for using Qt/PyQt or other toolkits instead of Gtk+/PyGTK, but not yet.

For getting depspec and tfplib from version control you will also need a couple version control tools, namely [http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazaar] and [http://subversion.tigris.org subversion].

[[Anchor(Downloads)]]
[[Anchor(Downloading)]]
== Downloading ==
Once you've gotten [http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazaar] you can get my depspec branch from either the launchpad mirror (might lag behind a bit, but is most likely a lot faster than branching from my server) or from my server by doing:

  {{{
bzr branch lp:depspec
}}}
  for the launchpad mirror, or:
  {{{
bzr branch http://bzr.tfkyle.dyndns.org/~kyle/depspec
}}}
  for my server.

if you're using gentoo there's ebuilds for tfplib and depspec in my overlay at http://tfkyle.dyndns.org/svn/ebuilds/projects/ (you can svn co that and then add the dir to PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf).

if you're using windows and don't have Python, Gtk, etc. there's an oldish standalone version [http://selene.tfkyle.dyndns.org/~kyle/Temp/depspec.rar here], just unrar and run depspec/depspec.exe

[[Anchor(Contact)]]
== Contact ==
feel free to join #init on irc.freenode.net (nick: TFKyle) if you want to ask me any questions, discuss code or generally just stab me :)
Also, you can submit bugs, ask questions, submit feature requests (blueprints) and submit translations at the [https://launchpad.net/depspec launchpad project for depspec].

[[Anchor(Screenshots)]]
== Screenshots ==
 Depspec on Linux:: attachment:depspec.png
 Depspec on Windows:: attachment:depspec-win32.png
 Hacked up UT support:: attachment:depspec-ut.png
  * not in svn currently, needs to be worked out more

[[Anchor(Similar Tools)]]
== Similar Tools ==
 * [http://www.dependencywalker.com/ Dependency Walker] (depends.exe)
 * [http://www.purinchu.net/wp/2007/10/24/elf-library-dependency-viewer/ ELF Library Viewer] (elflibviewer) - should probably steal the search feature and mentioning the full path (in an Info tab along with other info possibly?)
Glendora is what you can phone me whilst it is not the title on my delivery certification. Illinois is the place our home is but now I'm taking into consideration other options. Immediately after remaining out of my job for many years I became a computer system operator. What I truly appreciate performing is to do ceramics but I you should not have the time lately. My husband and I manage a internet site. You could possibly want to test it out right here: http://blogs.endonline.com/gavin/2011/05/25/everything-must-go/
