dependencies

Dependencies is a command line application which parse a set of libraries using nm and produces library dependencies graph based on symbols needed/defined. It uses graphviz (version 2.8 or above) to generate the graph.

Building at RCF

The graphviz library and headers are not installed at RCF. There is a local installation available in /phenix/u/hpereira. Following instructions allow to compile the source code against these libraries:

• get the source tarball dependencies-VERSION.tar.gz
• unpack the sources

gtar -xzvf dependencies-VERSION.tar.gz

• configure

cd dependencies-VERSION
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME
  --with-graphviz-prefix=/phenix/u/hpereira/
  --with-graphviz-libraries=/phenix/u/hpereira/lib/graphviz 

• compile and install

make install
