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).

Downloads

You Can Download Depspec from the subversion repository [http://tfkyle.dyndns.org/svn/depspec/trunk/ here], it requires [http://python.org Python] (2.5+), [http://gtk.org Gtk+], [http://pygtk.org PyGtk], and [http://tfkyle.dyndns.org/svn/tfplib/trunk/ tfplib], currently it needs gtk, however in the future I intend to make a frontend using Qt atleast.

if you're using gentoo there's a couple ebuilds for [http://tfkyle.dyndns.org/svn/ebuilds/trunk/dev-python/tfplib/ tfplib] and [http://tfkyle.dyndns.org/svn/ebuilds/trunk/dev-python/depspec/ depspec].

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
