How create the file "depends"

[xpto09]

I got to create my first package.tce.
How do I create the file "depends".

Talking about the .dep file? See the wiki page "iconmenuinfo".  For a more complete guide, you can follow "creating extensions"

Yes.
My doubt is because I have installed all the files below.
I would like to know if there is a method to know this.
Some files I know that are no need, but the most I don't know.

Usually you can find them out by looking up the application's dependencies/requirements on their documentation/sites/etc.

If there are a set of binaries, running `ldd` on them may help as well.  After that, its probably up to testing.  However, if the application is also on another distro's repository, looking it up there may also help (though they can be different due to different configurations)

In general, the gcc + helper apps (binutils, bison, compiletc, diffutils, file, findutils, flex, gawk, gcc, gperf, grep, m4, make, patch, perl_xml, pkg-config, sed) will not be required by the compiled application and need not be listed.

The *-dev packages (atk-devs, base-dev, cairo-devs, expat2-devs, fontconfig-devs, GConf-2.18.0.1.devs, glib2-devs, graphics-libs-1-devs, gtk2-devs, libxml2-devs, ORBit2-2.14.17_devs, pango-devs, pixman-devs, Xorg-7.4-dev) will not be required by the compiled application and need not be listed.

Other packages that were used in working with the application (advcomp, beaver, firefox, flash10, glib1, gtk1, opera, perl_xml) will probably not be needed either.

I would recommend to start your application from a terminal window without any of the dep files installed - this way it will "complain" about missing dependencies, which you can add one by one until it stops "complaining" at which point you'll have your list of deps...

I have a script which automatically determines dependencies using ldd. It is fairly easy to run, but I do not know if you would find it useful. If you are interested in it, then send me a message and I can send you what I have. It may help.

If I get it to the point where I think it is ready for general consumption, I'll post it to the scripts area.
