I need to use the objdump and readelf commands in my application that runs on windows. I know I can install cygwin in order to use them. The reason why I don’t want to use cygwin is because I want to make it essay to deploy. Plus I don’t know how to make a silent install of cygwin. As a result I believe that what I need is GNU Utilities For Win32 as the link states those libraries are serverless. “executables do only depend on the Microsoft C-runtime (msvcrt.dll) and not an emulation layer like that provided by Cygwin tools”
Anyways once I go to that link I don’t know how to install it. Specifically I will like to use >this tool<
I will appreciate if someone can point me on the right direction of how I will be able to use objdump and readelf (binutils in cygwin) on my application.
they are already compiled and they can be downloaded from here!
Once downloaded they will be located in the bin directory:
and then you will use it the same way you use it on linux by passing the same args.
