How to list library dependencies of a non-native b

2019-01-21 03:22发布

问题:

When developing for native platform, I can use ldd to list all the shared libraries (.so files) a binary executable I build will try to load upon start-up. But when cross-compiling, I don't know how to get the same information. The ldd is not a normal binutils utility, like strip or ar, that can be built alongside gcc for cross compiling, but instead, it is a cryptic shell script that apparently can only run on native platform.

So, using the cross-target binutils tools, is there any way to get a list of the dynamically linked dependency for of a foreign binary?

回答1:

You can list direct dependencies of a binary easily enough:

readelf -d a.out | grep NEEDED

 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [librt.so.1]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.6]

I know of no way to recursively continue this to get the full list (as ldd does). You'll have to repeat the process for every NEEDED library by hand.



回答2:

You can do bash -x ldd /bin/ls to understand what ldd is doing. The ldd script is not that "cryptic". It basically runs

LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /bin/ls

so it uses the dynamic loader of the system (because the result of ldd depends upon your actual environment and system!). But you could examine with objdump -x /bin/ls the dynamic section of an executable, e.g.

% objdump -x /bin/ls
  /bin/ls:     file format elf64-x86-64
  /bin/ls

Again, the actual dependency depends upon the system where your binary is run (e.g. because I could have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH with my own libc.so.6 somewhere, which would be a bad idea).

So you need a cross variant of objdump



回答3:

while in gdb, info shared is similar to ldd. It gives complete human readable runtime information of the executable.
readelf would miss path and other libraries information.
readelf is a very good tool for on the host study. Developer may choose that works.



回答4:

this helped me

objdump -p /path/to/program | grep NEEDED 


回答5:

A bit late for this addition but someone might benefit/clarify. Doesn't the -A flag to readelf give the same result as ldd?

    $ readelf -AW /bin/vi

The only info missing here seems to be the full path where those libraries are located.

On the other hand, the tools mentioned so far are only useful once you have an installation known to work. My most common problems are:

  1. Installing a program (mostly via rpm) that then fails to start or crashes during start up. Somehow I think this is related to library incompatibilities but I haven't found an easy way of checking these thing before installing a program (nor indeed after)
  2. In an attemtp to overcome (1), sometimes I have resorted to downloading the sources and compiling locally. The typical configure script is partially helpful because it tells you which libraries you are missing. However, it fails to tell you what the lowest version of such libraries are required

Can anyone shed some light on these issues? BTW, I have tried reading installation instructions and release notes but they are almost always nowhere near sufficient.

A beefy example may put everything into context, so please try compiling Cinelerra.



回答6:

By design ldd can only been executed on target. However, it is possible to mimic ldd behavior using readelf. A script called `xldd' was developed in crosstool-ng project. An independent version of this script is available here:

https://gist.github.com/jerome-pouiller/c403786c1394f53f44a3b61214489e6f



回答7:

To list shared libraries dependency of a non-native binary, you can try the following tool: http://www.mathembedded.com/component/k2/item/1-cross-ldd.html

I use it on SH4 and MIPS. As reported in other answer, you can achieve the same using readelf output and a recursive loop, but I have never try by myself since cross-ldd exist.



回答8:

Sorry to make a zombie thread, but I am working on some things for my OpenWRT router and wanted this to check some dependencies to see if I had enough space on my jffs2 partition to copy over just e2fsck. Short answer: nope.avi.

Anyhoo, I made a little script that uses the accepted answer plus some (probably overly verbose) grep calls and with a little hand waving and some unicorn tears (no worries, they were happy tears!) I managed to put together the following script that gives you all the dependencies. I'm sure there's lots of room for improvement especially RE: the loops and recursion, as well as the fact that it's all bashisms all the time (i.e. indexed arrays) but this is at least nominally working for me:

#!/bin/bash

declare -a search_path
declare -a found_deps

find_dependencies() {
    local file="$1"
    local -a deps
    local -a deps_to_process

    deps=( $( readelf -d "$file" | grep "NEEDED" | \
        grep -o -E "\[[^]]*\]" | grep -o -E "[^][]*" ) )

    local add_this_dep=true

    # always assume we've found $file and add it to the $found_deps list
    # if it's not there
    for found_dep in "${found_deps[@]}"
    do
        if [ "$found_dep" = "$(basename $file)" ]
        then
            add_this_dep=false
            break
        fi
    done

    # if $add_this_dep is true, go ahead and add to the found_deps list
    if $add_this_dep
    then
        found_deps+=("$(basename $file)")
    fi

    # for every dependency found by readelf (no path)
    for dep in "${deps[@]}"
    do
        local process_dep=true

        # if the basename of the file passed into the function is
        # this dep, skip processing altogether

        then
            break
        else
            # otherwise, if it's one of the 'found deps' don't process it
            for found_dep in "${found_deps[@]}"
            do
                if [ "$dep" = "$found_dep" ]

            fi
        fi

        if $process_dep
        then

                # a copy of it, so break out of the loop

some depends idiot just uploaded this. i'm sure it shows things LDD doesn't but it's not well tested yet. a small bit of output is shown below.

http://sourceforge.net/p/dep-trace/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dep-trace/files/libdeps

should show total dependancy table of what ldconfig(1) will load (or has already loaded) and show which libs are NOT_FOUND (ie, no version or file) and then also what is effected.

try it, enjoy. it's very new so don't say i didn't tell you. it did just find some things below i didn't know about my lib system - i'm just about to go fix that.
