Linux Collect Dependencies

A small Gitea Action for collecting the non-system shared library dependencies required by a Linux executable.

The action uses ldd to recursively find dependencies and copies the required libraries into an artifact directory while skipping common Linux system libraries.

Usage

- name: Collect dependencies
  uses: https://git.omgitsalexl.me/omgitsalexl/linux-collect-dependencies@v1.0.1
  with:
    executable: path/to/my-app
    output: artifacts

Inputs

Input	Required	Default	Description
executable	Yes		Path to the executable to inspect
output	No	artifacts	Directory where dependencies are copied

The executable itself is not copied. Add it to the output directory separately if you want to package it with the collected libraries.

Requirements

The Linux runner must have bash, ldd, and standard GNU utilities available.

Example

- name: Copy executable
  run: |
    mkdir -p artifacts
    cp .build/release/my-app artifacts/my-app

- name: Collect dependencies
  uses: https://git.omgitsalexl.me/omgitsalexl/linux-collect-dependencies@v1.0.1
  with:
    executable: .build/release/my-app

The resulting artifacts directory can then be uploaded or packaged by the rest of your workflow.
