Inspect DEPENDS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:04, 13 February 2010

How do do I inspect compile-time dependencies for packages?

You want a "visual" output of the dependency tree for a particular package?

 bitbake --dry-run --verbose $packagename | grep "current path" | less

should give you that information. Another way is the more recent

 bitbake -g $packagename && less *.dot

@@ Line 8: / Line 8: @@
    bitbake -g $packagename && less *.dot
-Then, installing for example debian package graphviz we can convet .dot file in .ps
- dot -Tps task-depends.dot  -o task-depends.ps
-And then you can open it with gimp.
-!Be careful that big package give a .dot and .os result that require too much RAM, for example mplayer.
