Please define which dependencies are build and which are runtime about binwalk HOT 10 CLOSED

this is the debian package
https://github.com/LocutusOfBorg/binwalk

from binwalk.

The above dependencies list is correct, with the following exceptions:

• python-magic is not required
• The development packages for libfuzzy and libmagic are not required (just the libraries themselves)
• zlib1g-dev and liblzma-dev are not directly required by binwalk (they are needed for building the firmware-mod-kit)

When loading C libraries, binwalk's search order is (libmagic is used as an example, but the same is done for all libraries):

• Look for libmagic.so in binwalk's own libs directory
• If not found, look for libmagic.so in /usr/local/lib
• If not found, search for libmagic using ctypes.util.find_library

I will add clearer documentation regarding the specific build and runtime dependencies.

thank! but:

Look for libmagic.so in binwalk's own libs directory

if I don't install the libmagic-dev the .so will not be on the system.

unless your code detects something like
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmagic.so.1 it shouldn't work...

from binwalk.

That should be detected by ctypes.util.find_library, as long as /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu is a path that ldconfig knows about (ctypes uses ldconfig to find the library path).

wonderful! many thanks, it is more than enough for me! thanks!

Hi again @devttys0 the binwalk libraries were used to be installed in /usr/lib.

Now I changed them to be installed into
ls -l /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/binwalk/libs/
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14264 ago 2 17:42 libcompress42.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18352 ago 2 17:42 libtinfl.so

it that ok for you?

from binwalk.

Yes, that is fine; the binwalk build should be putting those libraries in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/binwalk/libs/ anyway (let me know if that is not the case!).

from binwalk.

after the DESTDIR patch it is :)

from binwalk.

last thing: do you use from pyqtgraph python-pyside or python-qt4?

from binwalk.

oh yes, qt4 :)
