Analyzing Dependencies with Dependency Walker

Learn how to analyze dependencies of your application to find a matching Squish for Qt package that is binary-compatible with your application under test. Dependency Walker is a free tool that can help find out which libraries and library versions your application depends on, like the Qt libraries. In addition, it can be used to reveal the compiler and compiler versions which have been used to build the application. Both help to identify the Squish for Qt package that is compatible with your application.

So this is a really useful tool especially for debugging external DLLs that are failing to load correctly in an environment other than the one they were developed in. Often it's because they depend on an external library that is not present on the target computer.
Very often on a developers machine they are present so the DLL loads fine. Lift and shift into a customer environment and it's a no go. The DLL fails to load with no clue as to why.
This is a useful tool to see what external dependencies a DLL or an executable has that are failing to resolve.
Once you identify a file it's dependent on that it's failing to load you can copy that file into the clients folder that the DLL is also in and satisfy the dependency of the DLL. After all it's dependencies are met it should load.
It should be said that a compile option exists to fold all the dependencies inline into the DLL and often if you are planning to release the DLL to an unknown environment it's safer to do this. It makes the DLL or Executable bigger but it does mean it will work in more cases where you can't assume the resource will already be present.
Hope that was helpful.
Luv and Peace.
