1This documentation explains how to compile Capstone for: 2- Windows CE 7, a.k.a, [Windows Embedded Compact 7](https://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx), on [ARMv7](http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0406c/index.html). 3- Windows CE 8, a.k.a, [Windows Embedded Compact 2013](https://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windows-embedded-compact-2013.aspx), on [ARMv7](http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0406c/index.html). 4 5To build Capstone for a different platform, please refer to `COMPILE.TXT`. 6 7# Prerequisites 8 9We support the following scenario regarding the build machine: 10- Build running on Microsoft Windows. 11- The C Software Develepment Kit of the target Windows CE **device** installed. 12- Only for Windows CE 7: 13 - C compiler toolchain installed, targetting **Windows Embedded Compact 7** on **ARMv7**. We recommend the toolchain provided with [Windows Embedded Compact 7 toolkit](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200349%28v=winembedded.70%29.aspx), as the toolchain originally provided with **Visual Studio 2008** is relatively old. 14 15Before building Capstone for Windows CE 7 (respectively, Windows CE 8), the build script `windowsce/make_windowsce7-armv7.bat` (respectively, `windowsce/make_windowsce8-armv7.bat`) needs to be modified. The variables specified in the rest of this section are set in this script file. 16 17# Toolchain specification 18 19The following information need to be specified in the build script in order to perform the build: 20- `set WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=` is the path of the root directory of the Windows CE toolchain. To build for Windows CE 7, this should be set to the Windows Embedded Compact 7 toolchain. To build for Windows CE 8, this should be set to the device toolchain. 21Examples: 22 - For Windows CE 7: 23 ```bat 24 set WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=C:\WINCE700\sdk 25 ``` 26 - For Windows CE 8: 27 ```bat 28 set WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=C:\Windows_CE_Tools\SDKs\SDK_HW90270\Sdk 29 ``` 30 31- `set TOOLCHAIN=` is a semicolon-separated list of the paths of the directories containing the binaries of the Windows CE toolchain. 32For example: 33```bat 34set TOOLCHAIN=%WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT%\Bin\i386\Arm;%WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT%\Bin\i386 35``` 36 37- `set INCLUDE=` is a semicolon-separated list of the paths of the directories containing the C header files of the Windows CE device SDK. To build for Windows CE 7, this should also include the directories containing the C header files of the Windows Embedded Compact 7 toolchain. 38Examples: 39 - For Windows CE 7: 40 ```bat 41 set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows CE Tools\SDKs\Symbol MC3200c70 Windows CE 7.0 PSDK\Include\Armv4i;C:\WINCE700\public\common\sdk\inc 42 ``` 43 - For Windows CE 8: 44 ```bat 45 set INCLUDE=%WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT%\Inc;%WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT%\crt\Include 46 ``` 47 48- `set LIBPATH=` is a semicolon-separated list of the paths of the directories containing the library (i.e., `.LIB`) files of the Windows CE 7 device SDK. 49Examples: 50 - For Windows CE 7: 51 ```bat 52 set LIBPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows CE Tools\SDKs\Symbol MC3200c70 Windows CE 7.0 PSDK\Lib\ARMv4I 53 ``` 54 - For Windows CE 8: 55 ```bat 56 set LIBPATH=%WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT%\Lib\ARMV7\retail;%WINCE_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT%\Crt\Lib\ARM 57 ``` 58 59- `set LIBS=` is a space-separated list of linker directives controlling library search. 60Examples: 61 - For Windows CE 7: 62 ```bat 63 set LIBS=-nodefaultlib:oldnames.lib -nodefaultlib:libcmtd.lib -nodefaultlib:libcmt.lib coredll.lib corelibc.lib 64 ``` 65 - For Windows CE 8: 66 ```bat 67 set LIBS=coredll.lib 68 ``` 69 70# Capstone binary format 71 72By default, the build script produces a **dynamic link library** (i.e., `.DLL`). In order to produce a **static library** (i.e., `.LIB`) instead, the `SHARED` variable needs to be set to `0`, i.e.: 73```bat 74set SHARED=0 75``` 76 77# Architectures supported at runtime 78 79Capstone supports the following architectures: ARM, ARM64 (AArch64), M68K, MIPS, PowerPC, Sparc, SystemZ, x86 and XCore. However, Capstone can be configured in order to select which architectures need to be supported **at runtime**. This is controlled via the variable `DISASM_ARCH_LIST`, which is a space-separated list that is a combination of the following names: 80- `ARM` 81- `ARM64` 82- `M68K` 83- `MIPS` 84- `POWERPC` 85- `SPARC` 86- `SYSZ` 87- `X86` 88- `XCORE`. 89 90By default, `DISASM_ARCH_LIST` includes support for **all** architectures supported by Capstone. 91For example: 92```bat 93set DISASM_ARCH_LIST=ARM ARM64 X86 94``` 95will produce a Capstone binary that supports the following architectures: ARM, ARM64 and x86. 96 97## Features customization 98 99Capstone has a list of features that can be controlled when needed. Each feature is controlled through setting a variable from the following list: 100 101- In order to produce a smaller binary that provides a **subset** of the features of Capstone, but still supports all the selected architectures, please specify the following: 102 ```bat 103 set DIET_MODE=1 104 ``` 105 By default, this variable is set to `0`. 106 107- By default, Capstone uses the default system-provided **dynamic memory management** functions (e.g., `malloc()`, `realloc()`, `free()`) for its internal memory management. However, Capstone can instead be configured to call **custom** memory management functions provided by client applications. In order to enable this behavior, set the following: 108 ```bat 109 set USE_SYS_DYN_MEM=0 110 ``` 111 112- In order to produce a **smaller** Capstone binary, support for the `x86` architecture can be more **limited**. In order to do so, set the following: 113 ```bat 114 set X86_REDUCE=1 115 ``` 116 By default, this is set to `0`. 117 118- If the **AT&T** disassembly style of the `x86` architecture is never needed at runtime, then disabling support for it can produce a **smaller** Capstone binary. To do this, please set the following: 119 ```bat 120 set X86_ATT_DISABLE=1 121 ``` 122 By default, this is set to `0`. 123 124Please refer to `docs/README` for more details on these features. 125
