Modules/GetPrerequisites.cmake

# GetPrerequisites.cmake
#
# This script provides functions to list the .dll, .dylib or .so files that an
# executable or shared library file depends on. (Its prerequisites.)
#
# It uses various tools to obtain the list of required shared library files:
#   dumpbin (Windows)
#   ldd (Linux/Unix)
#   otool (Mac OSX)
#
# The following functions are provided by this script:
#   gp_append_unique
#   is_file_executable
#   gp_item_default_embedded_path
#     (projects can override with gp_item_default_embedded_path_override)
#   gp_resolve_item
#     (projects can override with gp_resolve_item_override)
#   gp_resolved_file_type
#     (projects can override with gp_resolved_file_type_override)
#   gp_file_type
#   get_prerequisites
#   list_prerequisites
#   list_prerequisites_by_glob
#
# Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function, break, return and
# PARENT_SCOPE.
