[PD] Determine library dependency tree for a patch?

[William Huston]

Yes, my plan is to include whatever abstractions in my own libraries.
But I do not know what those dependencies are!!
That is the problem.

My goal is to have a script or program which can
a) examine an arbitrary patch, (example: "BillsPatch.pd") and
b) examine my Pd runtime environment

... and build a dependency tree. Something like this:

$ perl ShowPdDependencyTree.pl BillsPatch.pd


*BillsPatch.pd*

*|\--------/home/bh/pd/abstractions/BillVerb~.pd*

*|            \---------- /home/bh/pd/pd-0.43.4-extended/extra/freeverb.ld*





*|\--------/home/bh/pd/abstractions/flanger~.pd|
\---------------/home/bh/pd/abstractions/autophase12~.pd|
\---------------/home/bh/pd/abstractions/autopan12~.pd|
              \----------
/home/bh/pd/pd-0.43.4-extended/extra/flatgui/knob.ld|\--------/home/bh/pd/abstractions/MultiOsc~.pd*

*|*

*..... (etc.)......*

Make sense?
I want this to be able to work anywhere why Pd works (OSX, Windows, Linux).

Thanks,
BH
