    I'm trying to write a tool for linux that would help with deployment, I was wondering if there's a way to get the plugins that my app needs.

    I can find out the so files that the application needs using

    ldd binaryFile
    

    but, for example if the application uses any plugin, for example any of the imageformats plugins, I can not know unless I run it on another system and debug the error messages

    So my question is, Is there a way to get all the dependencies my app needs so that I can automate the deployment process

    PS, Yes I took a look at linuxdeployqt :D

      Hi, one simple way: when you have your Qt app running:

      lsof -c binaryfile
      

      Embedded in the long list are all the .dll/.so files the app uses.
