Use Makefile on MacOS, Linux, and Windows mingw environments, and Makefile.win (nmake file) for Windows Visual Studio environment (nmake -f). + +The compiled API contains names and functions you can use from your plugins, but most of the implementation is missing until you link up against libbinaryninjacore.dylib or libbinaryninjacore.dll (via import file libbinaryninjacore.lib). See the ./examples. + +Since BinaryNinja is a 64-bit only product, ensure that you are using a 64-bit compiling and linking environment. Errors on windows like LNK1107 might indicate that your bits don't match. + +## Examples + +* bin-info is a standalone executable that prints some information about a given binary to stdout +* breakpoint is a plugin that allows you to select a region within an x86 binary and use the context menu to fill it with breakpoint bytes +* print_syscalls is a standalone executable that prints the syscalls used in a given binary |
