[CMake] CPack DEB Packaging: Automate dependency resolution

[David Graf]

Hello

Currently in my project, I provide all dependencies for DEB packaging in 
CPack by setting the variable CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS. Is there a 
possibility to automate this process (similar to the behavior of the 
CPack RPM packaging mechanism)?

As far as I understood it correctly, such a mechanism must be 
implemented with the Linux tool 'objdump' to get the dependencies of 
shared libraries. I already thought about implementing my own script to 
get these dependencies of my shared libraries automatically. But first, 
I wanted to make sure that I do not reinvent the wheel. Especially 
because I found the following entry in 'CPackDeb.cmake' next to the 
dependency section:  ' TODO: automate 'objdump -p | grep NEEDED'.
