Libraries Dependencies

[fred.forum]

I use 23 C++ librairies, define in VCPROJ, for an application. I must
admit
that with time dependencies between those librairies are not clean at
all. Is it possible to get all libraries dependencies? Is there a tool
to do that?

For exemple:

My Lib\lib1
My Lib\lib2
My Lib\...
My Lib\libN

I need to know all dependencies between lib1 to libN. Many reverse
engineering tools do it for C++ classes. It will be really useful to
get same kind of graph and graph analysis for libraries.

Thanks,

Fred Hebert

Your question doesn't seem to be about C++ language. If I am wrong about
that, please restate the question in such form so it can be answered in
terms of C++ _language_. If you can't (due to the simple fact that you
are not asking about C++ *language*), please seek a better place to post
your query. I suggest 'microsoft.public.vc.project_mgt' or any of its
siblings, and 'comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.misc' (or without the
last two segments).

Maybe it is not the appropriate place to post my question. In fact, I
post it here because I there was an interesting thread about librairies
dependencies here: Managing C++ Libraries: Dependencies and Headers
(http://groups.google.ca/group/comp....es+dependencies&rnum=6&hl=en#2305759bd1047a4e).

It is true that it is more a design question than a language question.
I will try newsgroup you suggest. I am not really familiar with
newsgroup.
