Definition file not working

[klezVirus]

Hi, I tried your tool using a .def file created with

dumpbin /exports file.dll /out:file.def

I provided the file.def as --exports parameter but I get the following error when executed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "inceptor.py", line 268, in <module>
    generator = NativeArtifactGenerator(binary_abs_path,
  File "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Tools\inceptor\inceptor\generators\NativeArtifactGenerator.py", line 147, in __init__
    self.dll_compiler_args["/DEF"] = f'"{os.path.abspath(self.exports)}"'
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

How can I set custom exports?

Hi @CT-H00K, I've tried now using the dev branch and it seems the issue has been already fixed.

Hi @klezVirus , I cannot test it since the dev branch is still kinda buggy and not properly executing.

I've tried with venv and pipenv for the virtual environment.

Do you plan switching to poetry in the future? https://python-poetry.org/

Yeah you're right, I'm still solving a few issues before merging. I'll merge Dev and main very soon anyway. Didn't know poetry, seems very useful, I'll consider that for sure, thanks for the suggestion! ;)

how to import the .def file ?

Hi @Revozop, the definition file can be added with the --exports parameter Let me know if it works, I'm working on a few updates at the moment and don't remember if this is working fine in the main branch.

You can find more examples in the wiki page Example By Scenario

Tested the DEF file in main branch and confirmed as working. Closing this issue for now.
