babasuck commented 9 months ago

Firstly you need to activate virtual env For example: C:\dlllib\venv\Scripts\activate

After this you can use script: C:\dlllib(venv) python main.py C:\Windows\System32 C:\masm64\lib C:\masm64\inc (you need to pass a full path)

babasuck commented 9 months ago

and do this in Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt

greenozon commented 9 months ago

I'm not sure if venv is the missing part here, anyway I gave it a try, same result (also used abs paths instead of relative ones):


(venv) c:\Tmp>python main.py C:\Windows\System32  c:\tmp\lib\ c:\tmp\inc\
c:\tmp\lib\\
c:\tmp\inc\\
c:\tmp\inc\\aaclient.inc
The system cannot find the path specified.
Make sure set path to dumpbin.exe to PATH variable.

at the same time if I execute dumpbin and lib inside venv -they are resolved and showing help...

is it smth related to Python 3.12 or... ?

xverizex commented 6 months ago

@greenozon If you did not fix it, then try to set full path to dumpbin in python script.

greenozon commented 6 months ago

which one should I take?

babasuck commented 6 months ago

@greenozon use x64 one

greenozon commented 6 months ago

:( same error.... WTF :)

xverizex commented 6 months ago

@greenozon I hope you write a correct path. Show how you text it.

greenozon commented 6 months ago

Here we go:

tool itself runs (even having Linux slashes)

here is the change in the code:

xverizex commented 6 months ago

@greenozon ok. You should read this https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

You should to set path to vs execute directory where are store programs.exe.

greenozon commented 6 months ago

Is it still required even I ran the c:\Dev\VS2019\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat script before?

look - dumpbin exe itself is searchable - I could freely run it.. the issue comes when python tries to run it... smth is wrong over there...

babasuck commented 6 months ago

@greenozon please give me some time to add in code more verbose error message

babasuck commented 6 months ago

also make sure to create inc and lib folders before runing the tool

babasuck commented 6 months ago

@greenozon Hello, please give it a try now! Also check my usage video: https://youtu.be/ybqSsimLz6U

greenozon commented 6 months ago

Thanks for video feeback! I gave it a try as in your vid and you know what? it worked!

the new question is why do I hit one fail without any errors about it>....

babasuck commented 6 months ago

Honestly, I dunno:) some dlls just doesn't work!

greenozon commented 6 months ago

It's OK, but lets print out at least error code and/or error text that utility is producing?...

xverizex commented 5 months ago

@babasuck so, some weeks ago I merged request which solves the issue

greenozon commented 5 months ago

any details on merged stuff?

xverizex commented 5 months ago

@greenozon see pull request.

greenozon commented 5 months ago

yeah, silly me, thanks a lot! will have some nice time after fresh cupofcoffee :)

greenozon commented 1 month ago

@xverizex hi! pardon for delay

so I've tried your PR, but I hit the issue, here is my try

lib is preset in PATH

C:\masm64\include64\
list index out of range

any ideas what is wrong? did I run the script as you expected? (appended last param named shadow)

xverizex commented 1 month ago

@greenozon I haven't used this script for a long time, and I don't remember anymore. Try to read the script code, everything is quite clearly written there.

greenozon commented 1 month ago

Good point! I put prints and figured out where it fails need your answer please in the PR question

xverizex commented 1 month ago

@greenozon I'm busy with other project and I don't have time to help anybody.

greenozon commented 1 month ago

OK, thanks no problems

PS how could I help you?

xverizex commented 1 month ago

@greenozon Nothing. I'm making a game.
