BinNavi 5.0 hangs on importing IDB on OS X #26

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install zynamics_binexport_6.pmc and zynamics_binexport_6.pmc64 into 
/Applications/IDA Pro 6.5/IDA binaries/plugins
2. Configure the IDA location as /Applications/IDA Pro 6.5/IDA binaries/ (which 
is the only directory that the settings window will allow).
3. Select "Import IDB Database…"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect to see the import window.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BinNavi 5.0.0 on OS X 10.7.5.

Please provide any additional information below.
Is there any way to use the exporter from within IDA instead?  If so, what 
format should I choose?  And then how do I import that in BinNavi?

Hi,

thank you for your bug report. Currently we do not provide any support for 
BinNavi running on OSX. That said, the plugin is available from IDA via the 
plugins menu. If you do not see the plugin there than it is not in the right 
directory. 

Best Regards,

Tim Kornau

Thanks for the response.

If you don't support BinNavi on OSX, then you might want to update the 5.0 
manual <http://www.zynamics.com/binnavi/manual/html/installation.htm>, which 
states "For either Windows, Debian/Ubuntu Linux or MacOSX you can also use the 
provided installers."  I was surprised when I purchased BinNavi and no MacOSX 
installer was provided.

I do see the plugin within IDA, but (1) I'm not sure what format I should use 
to export for BinNavi, and (2) when I tried to import a .BinExport file with 
BinNavi running on Linux, it seemed to succeed, but then trying to initialize 
the imported module failed.

How do I use the MacOSX plugin to export a database for use with BinNavi on a 
supported platform?

Hi,

As stated in version 5.0 there is support for OSX but not in the form of an 
installer. The BinNavi jar file can be run on OSX via command line. The 
exporter needs to be installed in the IDA plugins directory. 

BinExport files are used with BinDiff, BinNavi uses a database format. Do you 
need more information on the workflow here?

Best Regards,
