We also show steps to cross-compile Unicorn for Microsoft Windows.
To compile for *nix OS, see COMPILE-NIX.md

[0] Dependencies
For Windows, cross-compile requires Mingw. Mingw-glib2 is needed. At the moment, it is confirmed that Unicorn can be compiled either on Ubuntu or Windows.
- On Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, do:
1. Download DEB packages for Mingw64 from:
https://launchpad.net/~greg-hellings/+archive/ubuntu/mingw-libs/+build/2924251
2. To cross-compile for Windows 32-bit, install Mingw with (ignore all the warnings):
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-depends mingw64-x86-glib2_2.31.0_all.deb
To cross-compile for Windows 64-bit, install Mingw with:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-depends mingw64-x64-glib2_2.31.0_all.deb
- On Windows, install MinGW via package MSYS2 at https://msys2.github.io/
Follow the install instructions and don't forget to update the system packages with:
$ pacman --needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime
Then close MSYS2, run it again from Start menu and update the rest with:
$ pacman -Su
Finally, install required toolchain to build C projects.
- To compile for Windows 32-bit, run:
$ pacman -S python2
$ pacman -S make
$ pacman -S pkg-config
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-glib2
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
- To compile for Windows 64-bit, run:
$ pacman -S python2
$ pacman -S make
$ pacman -S pkg-config
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
-
For Cygwin, "make", "gcc-core", "pkg-config", "libpcre-devel", "zlib-devel" and "libglib2.0-devel" are needed.
If apt-cyg is available, you can install these with:
$ apt-cyg install make gcc-core pkg-config libpcre-devel zlib-devel libglib2.0-devel
[1] Tailor Unicorn to your need.
Out of 6 archtitectures supported by Unicorn (Arm, Arm64, M68K, Mips, Sparc, & X86), if you just need several selected archs, choose which ones you want to compile in by editing "config.mk" before going to next steps.
By default, all 6 architectures are compiled.
The other way of customize Unicorn without having to edit config.mk is to pass the desired options on the commandline to ./make.sh. Currently, Unicorn supports 4 options, as follows.
- UNICORN_ARCHS: specify list of architectures to compiled in.
- UNICORN_STATIC: build static library.
- UNICORN_SHARED: build dynamic (shared) library.
- UNICORN_QEMU_FLAGS: specify extra flags for qemu's configure script
To avoid editing config.mk for these customization, we can pass their values to make.sh, as follows.
$ UNICORN_ARCHS="arm aarch64 x86" ./make.sh
NOTE: on commandline, put these values in front of ./make.sh, not after it.
For each option, refer to docs/README for more details.
[2] Compile from source on Windows - with MinGW (MSYS2)
To compile with MinGW, install MSYS2 as instructed in the first section. Then, build Unicorn with the next steps:
- To compile Windows 32-bit binary with MinGW, run:
$ ./make.sh cross-win32
- To compile Windows 64-bit binary with MinGW, run:
$ ./make.sh cross-win64
Resulted files unicorn.dll, unicorn.lib & samples/sample*.exe can then be used on Windows machine.
To run sample_x86.exe on Windows 32-bit, you need the following files:
unicorn.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw32\bin\libiconv-2.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw32\bin\libintl-8.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw32\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw32\bin\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw32\bin\libwinpthread-1.dll
To run sample_x86.exe on Windows 64-bit, you need the following files:
unicorn.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw64\bin\libiconv-2.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw64\bin\libintl-8.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw64\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw64\bin\libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
%MSYS2%\mingw64\bin\libwinpthread-1.dll
[3] Compile and install from source on Cygwin
To build Unicorn on Cygwin, run:
$ ./make.sh
After compiling, install Unicorn with:
$ ./make.sh install
Resulted files cygunicorn.dll, libunicorn.dll.a and libunicorn.a can be used on Cygwin but not native Windows.
NOTE: The core framework installed by "./make.sh install" consist of following files:
/usr/include/unicorn/*.h
/usr/bin/cygunicorn.dll
/usr/lib/libunicorn.dll.a
/usr/lib/libunicorn.a
[4] Cross-compile for Windows from *nix
To cross-compile for Windows, Linux & gcc-mingw-w64-i686 (and also gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 for 64-bit binaries) are required.
- To cross-compile Windows 32-bit binary, simply run:
$ ./make.sh cross-win32
- To cross-compile Windows 64-bit binary, run:
$ ./make.sh cross-win64
Resulted files unicorn.dll, unicorn.lib & samples/sample*.exe can then be used on Windows machine.
To run sample_x86.exe on Windows 32-bit, you need the following files:
unicorn.dll
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libglib-2.0-0.dll
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.8/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libwinpthread-1.dll
To run sample_x86.exe on Windows 64-bit, you need the following files:
unicorn.dll
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libglib-2.0-0.dll
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libwinpthread-1.dll
Then run either "sample_x86.exe -32" or "sample_x86.exe -64" to test emulators for X86 32-bit or X86 64-bit. For other architectures, run "sample_xxx.exe" found in the same directory.
[5] Language bindings
Look for the bindings under directory bindings/, and refer to README file of corresponding languages.
[6] Unit tests
Automated unit tests use the cmocka unit testing framework (https://cmocka.org/).
It can be installed in most Linux distros using the package manager, e.g.
sudo yum install libcmocka libcmocka-devel, or you can easily build and install it from source.
You can run the tests by running make test in the project directory.
