Compiling IDAPython for IDA Pro 5.2 Advanced 64 bit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to use IDAPython with IDA Pro 5.2 Advanced for 64bit (running on
32bit Windows).

First of all I haven't found the patch for 5.2 sdk and changing it manually
is relatively hard work.
Furthermore I would like to know if there are special steps I should take
in order to compile it for 64bit. I see that in build.py the output binary
is plw 32bit plugin. I need p64 plugin.

Are you planning to release an update of the build.py or x64 compatible plugin?

Cheers,
Evgeny

Evgeny,

Looking at other IDA Pro 5.2 plugins, you may need to do the following in 
addition to
patching the 5.2 SDK:

1. Use 'libvc.w64' from the IDA SDK, instead of 'libvc.w32'
2. Add ' /D "__EA64__" ' to the compilation options
3. Name the output file "python.p64"

If you want to use the build.py script, you can modify it to do these things by
changing the 'libvc' (line 298), adding a basemacro (line 221), and renaming the
plugin (lines 294 & 351).

You may also need to remove "WIN32" from the base macros, or replace it with
something else (I haven't tried).

Regards,

Dan

Hi,

One more thing you should do:
In swig/idaapi.i, lines 40-41, there are the constants BADADDR and BADSEL. You 
should
change them from 0xFFFFFFFF to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, otherwise the functions in
idautils (such as CodeRefsTo) wouldn't work.

Regards,

Dan

I have managed to manually build a working plugin for 64-bit in the past.
There are a number of odds and ends that need to be checked but it should
not be a big deal

I will get back to 64-bit after 1.0 and make it a standard build for each 
release.

Hi,

Me and Itai Shaham managed to build the plugin for 64 bit (windows).
We added build64.py script which makes the plugin (.p64) + /python64 directory 
(that 
should be copied to the IDA directory).
The patch file is attached (tested with swigwin-1.3.39, IDA SDK 5.4).

This bug is closed as the 64-bit build is now part of the regular binary 
distributions.
Thanks to all who submitted ideas for this!
