How To Compile & Run Capstone for Linux, Mac OSX, *nix and Windows *-*-*-*-*-* Capstone requires no prerequisite packages, so it is easy to compile & install. (1) On Linux, Mac OSX or *nix: - To compile for current platform, run either: $ ./compile.sh or: $ make Then run "./tests/test*" to see the tests disassembling sample code. - On 64-bit OS, if you want to cross-compile Capstone for 32-bit binary, run: $ ./compile.sh nix32 Then similarly, run "./tests/test*" to see the tests disassembling sample code. (2) To install Capstone, run: $ sudo make install You are then required to enter root password to copy Capstone into machine system directories. NOTE: The core framework that will be installed by "make install" consist of only following files: /usr/include/capstone/capstone.h /usr/include/capstone/x86.h /usr/include/capstone/arm.h /usr/include/capstone/arm64.h /usr/include/capstone/mips.h /usr/lib/libcapstone.so (for Linux/*nix), or /usr/lib/libcapstone.dylib (OSX) (3) To cross-compile for Windows, Linux & gcc-mingw-w64-i686 (and also gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 if you want 64-bit binaries) are required. - To cross-compile Windows 32-bit binary, simply run $ ./compile.sh cross-win32 - To cross-compile Windows 64-bit binary, simply run $ ./compile.sh cross-win64 Resulted files "capstone.dll" and "tests/test*.exe" can then be used on Windows machine. (4) To compile under Cygwin gcc-mingw-w64-i686 or x86_64-w64-mingw32 run: - To compile Windows 32-bit binary under Cygwin, simply run $ ./compile.sh cygwin-mingw32 - To compile Windows 64-bit binary under Cygwin, simply run $ ./compile.sh cygwin-mingw64 (5) By default, gcc is used as compiler. If you want to use "clang" instead, compile the code with: $ ./compile.sh clang (6) So far, Python, Ruby, Ocaml, Java, C# and Go are supported by bindings. Look for the bindings under directory bindings/, and refer to README file of corresponding languages.
