General build instructions

In order to use IDA DOSBox debugger you need to build two things:

  1. Client plugin for IDA (this repository)
  2. Custom version of DOSBox which builds in the IDA debugger server (other repository)

The custom DOSBox build also requires some of the files in this repository, so you will pass the path to this repository in the --with-ida-plugin configure flag when compiling DOSBox. (It doesn’t matter which order they are built in.)

IDADOS plugin

Windows

MSVC

  1. Install Microsoft Compiler:
  2. Set path to IDA SDK in build_vs.bat
  3. Open the Visual C++ command line (or open a command line and run vcvarsall.bat x86)
  4. Run build_vs.bat and follow its instructions

MinGW-w64 (i686)

  1. Install msys2 and follow the setup instructions
  2. Run pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain to install GCC
  3. (optional) Run pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-SDL to install SDL if you also plan to compile DOSBox with MinGW
  4. Set the path to IDA SDK in build_mingw.sh
  5. Run build_mingw.sh and follow its instructions

64-bit IDA/DOSBox: Replace “i686” with “x86_64” in the instructions above.

Linux

export IDA=/full/path/to/idasdk/
export __LINUX__=1
perl $IDA/bin/idamake.pl

Mac OS

export IDA=/full/path/to/idasdk/
export __MAC__=1
perl $IDA/bin/idamake.pl

DOSBox with IDA debugger support

First, make sure to copy/symlink your IDA library (Linux: libida.so, Mac: libida.dylib, Windows: ida.wll) to your idasdk/bin directory. Windows users: Rename ida.wll to ida.dll when you copy it! Then, follow the instructions for your platform below.

32-bit system (Windows with MinGW-w64 i686, Linux)

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-debug=ida32 --with-ida-sdk=/full/path/to/idasdk --with-ida-plugin=/full/path/to/idados
make

MinGW-w64 users: You will need to change the #ifdef __GNUC__ surrounding the memicmp declaration in idasdk/include/pro.h to #if 0 to compile successfully.

32-bit DOSBox on 64-bit Linux

./autogen.sh
CC="cc -m32" CXX="c++ -m32" ./configure --enable-debug=ida32 --with-ida-sdk=/full/path/to/idasdk --with-ida-plugin=/full/path/to/idados --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
make

32-bit DOSBox on 64-bit Mac OS

(The specific darwin release chosen shouldn’t matter.)

./autogen.sh
CC="cc -m32" CXX="c++ -m32" ./configure --enable-debug=ida32 --with-ida-sdk=/full/path/to/idasdk --with-ida-plugin=/full/path/to/idados --host=i686-apple-darwin12
make
