${my_name} tries to mimick the behavior of a real native ldd, but can be
used in a cross-development environment. Here is how it differs from a
real native ldd:
If the CT_XLDD_VERBOSE variable is set and non-empty, then ${my_name} will
print a lot of debug messages, explaining how it builds the library
search path, and how each library was found and why.
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not used, as it can not reliably be
guessed except at runtime, and we can't run.
${my_name} does not scan /etc/ld.so.cache, but instead uses /etc/ld.so.conf
(it understands the include directives therein for libces that have that).
${my_name} also interprets (tries to!) the RPATH/RUNPATH records found in
the dynamic ELF section. Such paths are searched for only relative to
the specified root, not from the sysroot (see below). Also, those paths
are searched for not only for the file they appear in, but also for its
dependencies.
${my_name} will search the directory specified with --root for libraries
to resolve the NEEDED tags. If --root is not set, then ${my_name} will
use the value in the environment variable \${CT_XLDD_ROOT}. If neither
is set, then this is an error.
If NEEDED libraries can't be found in the specified root directory, then
${my_name} will also look in the sysroot of the toolchain to see if it
can find them.
For NEEDED libraries that were found, the output will look like:
libneeded.so => /path/to/libneeded.so (0xloadaddr)
and for those that were not found, the output will look like:
libneeded.so not found
The paths are relative to the specified root directory, or to the sysroot
(eg. /lib/libneeded.so, /usr/lib/libneeded.so, and so on...).
The expected load address 'loadaddr' is a faked address to match the output
of the real ldd, but has no actual meaning (set to some constants for now,
0x8badf00d for libraries from the sysroot, 0xdeadc0de for those found via
the RPATH/RUNPATH records, and 0xdeadbeef for others).

This script doesn't take into account that the RPATH in an elf file can be comma-delimited. I've forked and fixed it here: https://gist.github.com/paleozogt/336d02481bc76e3499c5a8be76612d88

I put your script at /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/bin/ and rename it as arm-linux-gnueabi-ldd. After using it to list the shared libraries of binary, and I get the result likes this:

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-ldd <CROSS_COMPILE_ARM_BINARY>
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x8badf00d)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x8badf00d)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x8badf00d)
        ld-linux.so.3 => /lib/ld-linux.so.3 (0x8badf00d)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x8badf00d)

However, the effect I want likes this:

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-ldd <CROSS_COMPILE_ARM_BINARY>
        libstdc++.so.6 => /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x8badf00d)
        libm.so.6 => /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/lib/libm.so.6 (0x8badf00d)
        libc.so.6 => /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/lib/libc.so.6 (0x8badf00d)
        ld-linux.so.3 => /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/lib/ld-linux.so.3 (0x8badf00d)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x8badf00d)
  • Did I use your tool incorrectly?
  • How can I get the effect I want?

Would you mind showing me a demo? I will be grateful.

You can force the sysroot with --root=/opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi.

However, the sysroot should be automatically detected. What is the output of /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --print-sysroot ? and /opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -print-file-name=libc.so ?

Oh my bad, the paths are relative to the specified root directory, or to the sysroot. So, the behavior you have is normal. You can append | sed 's| => /|/opt/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp-4.8.3_x86_64/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/|' to get the behavior you want.

Does this script have the ability to find direct and indirect dependencies, as lddfind does?

Here is an example of lddtree output

    libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1
    libmagic.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1
        liblzma.so.5 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.5
        libbz2.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0
    libncursesw.so.6 => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6
    libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6

Here is an example of lddtr output from which it can be seen that liblzma.so.5 and libbz2.so .1.0 are indirect dependencies of nano but direct for libmagic.so.1

Yes, absolutely (it is even the main feature of this script).
