README of copydlldeps.sh
========================
This document belongs to copydlldeps.sh and is a part of the MXE project.

It can be invoked on the command line like:

```
/share/mxe/tools/copydlldeps.sh --infile /home/mxeuser/test/i686-w64-mingw32.shared/Application.exe \
				--destdir /home/mxeuser/testdlls/   \
				--recursivesrcdir /home/mxeuser/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.shared/ \
				--srcdir /home/mxeuser/test/ \
				--copy \
				--enforce /home/mxeuser/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5/plugins/platforms/ \
				--objdump /home/mxeuser/mxe/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.shared-objdump
```

It got embedded in a build script like:

```
MXEPATH=/path/to/mxe
compiler=i686-w64-mingw32.shared
orgDir=/path/to/my/nsis/dll # nsis is then copying all dlls in there to the place where the exe is located

if [ ! $( echo $compiler | grep -q "shared" ) ]; then
	echo "\$compiler=$compiler and contains the word 'shared'" | tee -a $CURLOG

	echo "+-----------------------------------------------+ " | tee -a $CURLOG
	echo "| Starting new MXE copydlldeps.sh by LHE DL5RCW | " | tee -a $CURLOG
	echo "+-----------------------------------------------+ " | tee -a $CURLOG
	echo "currently working in $( pwd ) " | tee -a $CURLOG
	executable=$( find . -name "*.exe" | tail -n 1 )
	sharedLibsDir="${orgDir}/nsis/sharedLibs"
	echo "populating dir $sharedLibsDir with dll dependencies of $executable" | tee -a $CURLOG
	OBJDUMP=objdump
	if [ -e "$MXEPATH/usr/bin/$compiler-objdump" ]; then
		OBJDUMP="$MXEPATH/usr/bin/$compiler-objdump"
	fi
	$MXEPATH/tools/copydlldeps.sh 	--infile $executable \
					--destdir "$sharedLibsDir" \
					--recursivesrcdir "$MXEPATH/usr/$compiler/" \
					--enforce "$MXEPATH/usr/$compiler/qt5/plugins/platforms/" \
					--copy \
					--objdump "$OBJDUMP" \
					| tee -a $CURLOG
fi
```

Additional hints
================

objdump
-------
I checked if there is a mxe objdump. If not, I took the native one on my server.
I actually do not know the difference but decided to include it in the script
in case it is important to someone.

enforce
-------
My application is using Qt5 and objdump did not return the needed qwindows.dll -
so I enforce the platform folder. You may add multiple --enforce directories using
`--enforce /path/folder1 --enforce /path/folder2 --enforce /path/folder3`.

They are NOT recursively copied, only flat. See:

```bash
    string=$( find $enforcedDirectory -maxdepth 1 -iregex '.*\(dll\|exe\)' | tr '\n' ' ' )
```

If you would remove the `-maxdepth 1`, it would become recoursive.
