Duby/Capstone

Capstone Engine is an open source library for disassembly.

Compiling with Mingw

The default compilation doesn't work and fails with a linking error:

./arch/Sparc/SparcInstPrinter.o:SparcInstPrinter.c:(.text+0x4e0): multiple definition of `imaxabs'
./arch/PowerPC/PPCInstPrinter.o:PPCInstPrinter.c:(.text+0x16030): first defined here
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libcapstone.so] Error 1

(for whatever reason "imaxabs" is included in resulting files as a stand-alone function, rather than inline function)

The following command line should be used to compile the library on MinGW (with gcc installed)

CFLAGS="-llibmingwex" ./make.sh gcc

Adding libmingwex library for compilation prevents imaxabs to be inserted into .o file (because the function is implemented in mingwex)
