Support for IDA Pro 5.3

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. changed 5.1 patch to apply to 5.3 (see attached patch)
2. applied 5.3 patch to 5.3 sdk
3. cd idapython; python build.py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is a successful build of idapython, but what I get is this
error message:

swig -modern -python -c++ -w451 -shadow -D__GNUC__ -Iswig -o idaapi.cpp
-I../swigsdk-versions/5.1/include idaapi.i
../swigsdk-versions/5.1/include/pro.h:1613: Warning(314): print is a python
keyword, symbol will be renamed as '_print'
../swigsdk-versions/5.1/include/expr.hpp:102: Warning(362): operator= ignored
../swigsdk-versions/5.1/include/typeinf.hpp:801: Error: Syntax error in
input(1).

This is the whole output of python build.py.

Do you have any idea what it means?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using IDA Python 0.9.61 with IDA Pro Standard 5.3. The operating
system is Fedora Core 6 running on an Xeon processor in 32-bit mode. 

Please provide any additional information below.

I overcame the first problem. See attached patch for a patch to the specific 
problem.
I now get a whole new set of problems, where the main problem seems to be that
process_id_t has not been declared, as shown in the output of 'python build.py':

We overcame the errors mentioned above and are now left with a problem when 
loading
init.py. It gives no error message other than that. Are anyone else on this list
familiar with these kind of problems? 

I have attached two patched which is necessary for using idapython with IDA Pro 
5.3. 
1. a patch to the IDA Pro 5.3 SDK 
2. a patch to idapython

I believe the above patches fixed it. The problem I had with init.py was that I 
ran
python 2.4. When trying the program on a machine with python 2.5 ida2sql.py ran 
just
fine in idapython. I am willing to continue testing on IDA Pro 5.3 if that is 
needed.
It would be great if this patch set was available to others that use IDA Pro 5.3
through the official channels.

I will do a complete patch merge for 5.3 really soon after 1.0 and make a branch
in SVN so we can start hammering on that one as soon as possible.

Thanks for the info and the patches.

• Changed state: Started
• Added labels: Type-Enhancement
• Removed labels: Type-Defect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is pretty much history now. The plugin is included in the official IDA 5.4 
installation and the
patch has been merged to the official SDK.
