Copying shared libraries for executable into one location

[mast3rz3ro]

Hi there,

I introduce you cpdep a small utility which is able to get dependencies and copy it into one location
I have used ldd for searching the linked libraries and awk for processing text.

cpdep.sh:

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Author: mast3rz3ro
# Last Update: 05-02-2024

if [ "$1" = '' ]; then
	echo 'A utility able to find and copy dependencies for executable'
	echo 'Usage: cpdep executable'
	exit
fi

env=$(uname)

if (echo "$1" | grep -o '/') >/dev/null; then
		usr="$1"
else
	if [[ "$env" = 'MSYS'* ]]; then
		usr="/usr/bin/$1"
	elif [[ "$env" = 'MINGW64'* ]]; then
		usr='/mingw64/bin/$1'
	elif [[ "$env" = 'MINGW32'* ]]; then
		usr='/mingw32/bin/$1'
	fi		
fi

list=$(ls "$usr"*)
name=$(echo "$list" | awk -F 'bin/' '{print $2}' | awk -F '.exe' '{print $1}')
list+=$(ldd "$list" | awk -F '=> ' '{print $2}' | awk -F ' ' '{print $1}' | awk -F '/c/' '{print $1}')

mkdir -p ~/"$name"
cp "$usr" ~/"$name"

for x in $list; do
	echo "Copying '$x'"
	cp "$x" ~/"$name"
done

echo 'Location:' ~/"$name"

I have made this because it's was too much annoying to manually copy each shared library for compiled binaries.
Feel free to edit it or use it in any way you want.
Thank you!

I have updated the script with some fixes and improvements, and I have release it under a new repository.
