How to see the dependency tree?

[jronald]

for example:

app1
 |  \
 |   \
lib1 lib2
       |
       |
      lib3(lib2 depends on lib3)

I want to see such a tree before or after an application is installed, any way?
Thanks.

for example
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4
make pretty-print-run-depends-list
make pretty-print-build-depends-list

You can also do

# make missing

in a port's dir to see just the dependencies that you don't already have.

Weaseal, there are a lot of make options for compiling ports. Are they, the options, documented anywhere? The only ones I use are install, clean, distclean, and missing. I am only talking about specific freebsd options, not ones like make-without-x.

/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk

 

[jb_fvwm2]

ldd /usr/local/bin/[something] | lookat
(you'd want /lookat/ installed)
....
hope that answers something
