i want list of installed packages depend on gcc (installed homebrew). when try:
brew uses --installed gcc
it gives no result. , if check e.g. r's dependencies brew deps r, returns gcc (among others). assume brew uses should @ to the lowest degree homecoming value r.
did encounter similar problem , shed lite on this?
this not authoritative answer, appears me because r depends on :fortran, kind of virtual dependency can resolved in different ways. brew deps answers question, need install before installing formula. , in case decides installing gcc way satisfy :fortran requirement. reverse apparently not supported: doesn't know looking @ gcc can used resolve virtual dependency :fortran. plausible if 1 considers way virtual dependencies implemented in homebrew. usually, looks around in file scheme see if required binary available (including ones supplied outside of homebrew), doesn't found formula dependency link 1 time finds candidate.
(in fact, case might more complex. if @ brew deps r --tree, see dependency on :gcc, level of virtual dependency.)
although not straight related question, note deps default recursive uses not. in order symmetric picture, you'd need utilize deps -1 or uses --recursive.
gcc dependencies homebrew uses
