Get list of required BPLs for a given DLL, EXE or BPL

bpl, delphi, package, runtime-packages

Solution

For packages you can use the requires section of the PACKAGEINFO resource - see TJclPePackageInfo.

Problem

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an elegant way of determining what BPLs are required by a given (compiled) DLL, EXE or BPL. I'm not sure if this is even possible shy of simply scanning the binary for text references to .bpl filenames (which would be prone to possible false-positives). Ideally I'd like to return a `TStringList` or even a comma-separated `String` containing the names of all required .bpl files.
