I have a related problem. Is there any utility or combination of unix commands which enables me to trace the dependency of a binary to its constituent C/C++/header source files. eg. if i have a binary that is named "my_binary" and is made from main.c my_header.h ... this utility should print or give me these names and paths with them regds Anubhav -----Original Message----- From: J.T.
