I am using Microsoft enterprise library in one of my projects. I need to strong name one of the dlls which is Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common. But it is not working.
When I decompile using ILDASM, it generates 3 files.
IL file
.RESOURCES file
Common resource script file
How do I compile it with the key file. Which ILASM command should I use?
The dll's are distributed from the original install in a few different modes. One set of files is already signed, so you need to find that set and use the files from that set.
When you install the EntLib package, you get the compiled binaries (some are signed) AND you get the source code, which compiles the source-code and creates the dlls (not signed).
My guess is that you are using the non-signed (compiled from the source code on your local machine) files, instead of the signed ones.

I am writing a bitbake recipe to deploy a third party pre-built tool, similar to this wiki page: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/Packaging_Prebuilt_Libraries
However, I have a Release and Debug pre-build versions of the tool available as *.so files. How do I distinguish inside the recipe which one of both build types I shall deploy?
Thanks and regards,
Martin
You can have two different virtual recipes each with their own .so file. This then warrants a selection in a configuration file (with PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/my-recipe), so either in a machine or distro configuration file. This is probably preferred if you consider having release and debug distros.
A second option is to install the libraries in two different paths, in two different PACKAGES (use FILES_my-package for that) and make them RCONFLICTS_my-package each other to be sure they can't both be in the rootfs. After that, you could write a pkg_postinst_my-package() task specific to each package that actually move the library from the "different" path to the intended one. This will be run both at build time when creating the rootfs and at runtime on first boot, so you need to make sure to exclude one or the other (it's usually done by checking if ${D} exists, which does at build time but not runtime).
c.f.: http://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.html#post-installation-scripts
If you can manage to have both libraries installed in your rootfs and select the one you want with the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, a simple recipe, with two packages with each library in a different location, will be sufficient.
I'm currently trying to learn Assembly for x64 Windows. I tried the example code from this Intel website,
but whenever I try to compile it with the command given in the document:
ml64 hello.asm /link /subsystem:windows /defaultlib:kernel32.lib /defaultlib:user32.lib /entry:Start
I always get an
LNK1104 error
I know that it means the compiler can't find the library file, I googled the problem and quickly found that I need Visual Studio with Windows SDK, which I downloaded and installed. But still can't find a kernel32.lib or user32.lib in any files other than the Windows system files.
I tried everything and I simply can't fix it. I hope someone could help figure this out.
There is a well-known MASM32 SDK available created by hutch--. This package contains the requested libraries in a (legacy) 32-bit version.
But there is also a 64-bit update of that famous package by hutch--:
Current build of the 64 bit MASM SDK.
It should contain the .inc and .lib files you need and more...
This is the current build of the 64 bit MASM SDK. This one is a lot closer to complete and with the correct Microsoft binaries added to it, it is capable of building a wide array of application types. It can be use in 2 different ways, it should be unzipped from the root directory of the partition that it is being installed on. You can either manually add it to an installation of the MASM32 SDK OR you can install it on a partition that does not have MASM32 on it and simply rename the buildx64 directory to MASM32. Installing it on another partition is the preferred technique as QE has its menus and accessories set up for building 64 bit code.
You still need to add the Microsoft binaries which would typically be from an installation of vs2017 or from an earlier version for Win7 64. In the bin64 directory there is a file called "Microsoft_File_List.txt" which shows the files you need. The list is from the current version of Visual Studio 2017 version and if this is the version you have, use the ML64 from the "x86_amd64" directory that is 402,584 bytes in size.
In the "buildx64" directory is a batch file called "makeall.bat". This must be run to build all of the libraries and include files.
They are the gold standard of Windows assembly developing.
I'm writing my Swift app for Ubuntu using Vapor. And my mission is to have the smallest Docker image for production. I've trimmed down my image significantly but I wanted to know, just out of curiosity, does my final executable need all the compiled .module, .doc and .build files in the same directory?
tl;dr: No.
The folders/files you listed are byproducts of the build process and can be safely discarded.
When it comes to distribution, your application is just like any other Linux executable. You must have all dynamically linked libraries available on the target system.
These include the runtime libraries of the Swift toolchain plus any compiled C modules your application (or the framework beneath it) links with (*).
You can check the dependencies of the executable using the ldd command.
Some of them are available as packages, some of them will need to be copied to the target system manually.
(*) In case of a Vapor 2 application, such C modules are libCHTTP.so and libCSQLite.so, which are placed in your build folder.
I am creating a Chocolatey package for internal team usage. (In this case, the package is for Microsoft's windows debuggers.)
Windows Debuggers contains two folders, one for 32-bit x86 executables and an x64 folder for 64-bit executables.
The executable names are identical.
x86\adplus.exe
x64\adplus.exe
After installation it looks like the shim created by Chocolatey is indeed starting one of the adplus instances successfully. But sometimes I need the 32-bit version and sometimes I need the 64-bit version.
So here is the question: When there are two identically named executables in different directories, how do I tell Chocolately to create different shims for the executables in each directory?
The short answer is that you can't have two identically named shims in the Chocolatey shim folder ($env:ChocolateyInstall\bin).
A limitation of Windows for a directory is that each file/folder must be a unique name. This is what you are running into. Shims get dropped into the $env:ChocolateyInstall\bin folder, which puts them on the PATH automatically because $env:ChocolateyInstall\bin is on the PATH (it allows folks to install all kinds of things without overloading the PATH environment variables).
You can create an empty file ending in .ignore (e.g x86\adplus.exe.ignore) file next to the one you don't want to be shimmed. This is documented on the wiki. You can even do it programmatically during install based on something like OS architecture.
It sounds like you have a need for one of them sometimes and the other at other times on the SAME machine. I would suggest .ignore files for both files, and likely using Get-BinRoot to push the files to a tools folder (you get to define where the location of this is). Then you can set the process PATH temporarily for whichever one you need and it doesn't persist to the actual path. You can even set one on the path and then override it when you want the other.
Since the automation scripts are just PowerShell, you have all kinds of options here.
I am trying to link against the libconfig++ library using cmake. I installed the library
using apt-get so I am assuming it will have a .cmake file so I can use find_package. Problem is I don't know what package name to use. I tried libconfig, config, config++ as the package name to no avail.
As a general question, how does one find out which package is associated with a library.
I know that find_package looks into CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to see if there is a .cmake script. How to I find out what is the value of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH on my system. It's not an environment variable. I am running ubuntu 12.04.
Any help is appreciated.
To use find_package you need to have corresponding Find or Config cmake file. But library may not to provide it, seems with your library is such a case. You can use find_library for finding libraries and find_path to find include directories. With these commands you can even write FindXXX.cmake yourself.
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH is not an environment variable, it is CMake's one. This variable is intended for you to set, if you have additional directories with modules, by default it's empty. This is used in the "Module" mode. In this mode CMake searches FindXXX.cmake in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH (your modules) or in modules shipped with CMake and if it's found, it then used to find library and it's headers.
If that module wasn't found, it then switches into "Config" mode. On Unix it searches for ConfigXXX.cmake in the following directories:
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/
This files is shipped with the library, so there is no need to find anything, they contain all information, where library and includes located, etc.
About naming scheme, there is no standard one. You can look at Standard CMake modules. Modules found in internet for your library named FindLibConfig.cmake
For your case, library ships without corresponding cmake file, so you should write it your self (or find already written) and add directory with that file to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
I suggest you to read how find_package command works and how to write FindXXX.cmake files.
