Hi all,

I wrote tiny shlibs dependency checker named `fink-shlibdeps'.

You can download it from:
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA008857/macosx/fink/index.html#fink-shlibdeps

If it is useful for others, I'll make a package of it.


Here is a copy of README file:

--------------------------------------------------------------
What is is it?
==============

fink-shlibdeps is a package dependency checker for fink.


What it does?
=============

fink-shlibdeps automatically finds a package dependencies from package name,
installed directory and file name.

For example,

  $ fink-shlibdeps -p foo

returns a package name on which foo depends. For another example,

  $ cd foo-source
  $ make
  $ make install DESTDIR=../tmp
  $ fink-shlibdeps -d ../tmp

returns a package name on which foo depends. It is usefull when foo is not
packaged or installed yet.

By default, fink-shlibdeps hides indirect dependencies. To know all
dependencies, pass -a or --all options to it.

You can see what fink-shlibdeps does with -v or --verbose option.


What it does not?
=================

fink-shlibdeps only works if all dependent packages are installed. If they
are not installed, fink-shlibdeps can not find dependent packages.

If there are two or more packages which can replace each other, fink-shlibdeps
reports only installed one. For example, there are giflib and libungif and
both of them provides giflib. If a package depends on giflib and run fink-
shlibdeps with it, it will reports only one of them which is currently
installed.


Enjoy!
