Is pkgsrc such tool??, to find all the dependency library files/ bin files / files that are required for the application that has its contents inside a directory? To be simple, is there any such ldd command for all files/ sub-directories of a directory specified, not just for libraries but also for all dependencies ??? Or how to make an application *absolutely* portable in Linux environment ???
