Examine by vtorri

Welcome to Examine.

Examine is a memory leak detector for Windows and PE file viewer.

Installation

Windows - Visual Studio 2013

Examine comes with a Visual Studio 2013 solution. It has been created with Visual Studio 2013 community. Download the source code (GIT repository or TAR ball links at the top of that page). Open the file examine.sln which is in the visual_studio sub-directory with Visual Studio 2013. The solution has been configured for win32 and x64 flavor, in both Debug or Release mode.

Windows - MSYS with GCC

Installation of MSYS2

Download MSYS2 here, choosing the target you want (either i686 or x86_64). The x86_64 target will be installed in that tutorial, but the i686 one is exactly the same (notes will be added for its installation).
Follow instructions 1. to 7. (Instruction 8. is useless) with the 2 following modifications:
- Instructions 3.: The installation directory for this tutorial will be D:\MSYS2
- Instruction 6.: The command will be
  pacman -Syu
- Instruction 7.: The command will be
  pacman -S git make autoconf automake libtool gettext-devel

Installation of GCC and MinGW-64 with Win-Builds

Download Win-Builds here.
In the GUI window, select:
- Cygwin or MSYS
- x86_64 (if you want i686, let the selection as is)
- Use the mirror that is proposed: http://win-builds.org/1.5.0
- The installation directory is the one chosen for MSYS2 in the previous paragraph, instruction 3. of the MSYS2 instructions (for this tutorial, D:\MSYS2). By default, MinGW-64 will be installed in D:\MSYS2\opt\windows_64 (or D:\MSYS2\opt\windows_32 for i686) and the binaries in D:\MSYS2\opt\windows_64\bin.
- Click on OK then on Process in the new UI window.
Post installation
- In MSYS2 terminal, open /etc/profile with your favorite editor, add to PATH /opt/windows_64/bin, and export PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /opt/windows_64/lib64/pkgconfig (or /opt/windows_32/lib/pkgconfig for i686).

Compilation of Examine

Download the source code (GIT repository or TAR ball links at the top of that page). You have to configure, then compile the program. The commands must be run in a MSYS2 terminal.

For x86_64:
./configure --prefix=/path/of/installation --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-static --with-libbfd-prefix=/opt/windows_64
For i686:
./configure --prefix=/path/of/installation --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-static --with-libbfd-prefix=/opt/windows_32
Replace ./configure by ./autogen.sh the first time you configure using the GIT repository.
Compile and install:
make && make install

Linux

A Linux build is possible but only the tools 'depends' and 'view' are available. Download the source code (GIT repository or TAR ball links at the top of that page). You have to configure, then compile the program. The commands must be run in a terminal.


	  ./configure --prefix=/path/of/installation


	
	  make && make install

Replace ./configure by ./autogen.sh the first time you configure using the GIT repository. You may need to be root if you install Examine in a PATH where you don't have the requested permissions.
