STC:
$ ldd `which ls`
Actual output:
$ ldd `which ls`
ntdll.dll => /c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffd16fb0000)
KERNEL32.DLL => /c/WINDOWS/system32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffd16b80000)
KERNELBASE.dll => /c/WINDOWS/system32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7ffd13f50000)
Expected output:
According to Microsoftâs Dependency Walker tool, the output should also list cygwin1.dll and cygintl-8.dll, at minimum. Since it seems happy to chase dependencies from kernel32.dll to the other two, which are not explicit dependencies of ls.exe, it should also list cygiconv-2.dll, via cygintl.
Bonus points if the output changes to a tree view, so the indirect dependencies are clear.
