Last night, after seeing a request on irc, I did something that I've been meaning to do for many years - I wrote an "ldd" for Cygwin.
The tricky part about writing ldd is getting it to display the load addresses of dlls that a program uses. I accomplished that by running the program up to its entry point, displaying the list of loaded dlls and their load addresses, and then terminating the process. I haven't verified this but ldd should work on any windows program. ldd itself is a cygwin program but the programs it inspects don't have to be. The output is similar to but not identical linux. The paths that it displays are in /cygwin/format. Btw, the techniques that I used may only work on Windows XP and above. I haven't confirmed that either. I haven't updated the documentation to include ldd yet but I expect to do that over the weekend.
