Some spelling mistakes corrected

2009-09-24T15:19:52Z

I am submitting a patch correcting a few very obvious spelling/grammar mistakes in messages the program displays. Unfortunately, I couldn't correct all of them because there are way too many of them :) Maybe next time :)

usigng non standard Elf32_Shdr structure size

2009-09-23T06:21:06Z

biew have a bug in parsing elf executables that have non standard size of Elf32_Shdr structure. following patch fix this.

Respect DESTDIR variable

2009-09-22T19:26:26Z

The program ignores DESTDIR variable, which is useful e.g. when installing to a sandbox. The attached patch from Gentoo bugzilla adds ($DESTDIR) to the makefile where necessary. With DESTDIR unset the program installs as before. Patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=176061, tested on versions 5.6.x, 5.7.0 and 6.0.0.

Fix spelling mistakes

2008-12-22T20:21:28Z

This fixes spelling "disassembler" as "dissasembler" several times.

Big file and devices

2008-08-19T19:51:32Z

Device size was not calculated nor displayed properly.

The return value of lseek() was not checked so after an error the file pointer position is unknown, and further checks and reads are useless.

Also used a long long for printf, which is required to print a 64-bit integer on my 32-bit system. I hope it does not break on legacy systems.

To check it just open your hard disk (eg "/dev/sda") and check reported file size.

Fix linking of x86_64 linux

2008-05-06T11:08:48Z

Building on x86_64 linux with gcc causes fail with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbiew" message. This patch changes 'configure script, to make it work on x86_64.

gcc4 compilation

2005-12-07T15:57:55Z

Dirty fix the gcc4 compilation process.

biew compilation problem

2004-06-11T07:56:21Z

In biew561.tar.bz2 : plugins/bin/ne.c
the compilation will not work because of the "bool" keyword used as a
variable (gcc 3.4.0, linux mandrake 10)
"bool" should be changed into -> _bool or boolval (three occurences,
lines ~220)

Thanks,
ABU (anonymous biew user :)

AVR disassembler

2003-10-19T12:04:41Z

This is the first try of a new biew disassembler plugin
for AVR binaries. Basically it is the disassembler code
from GNU binutils.

The code is untested for a wide area and so I name it
ALPHA. Til now you can use code high-lightening and
extensive help pages about AVR assembler mnemonic. In
future I'll be coding the interactive jump referencing.
I hope there will be a time.

Ahh, inside the new (patched) code tree you have to
make a new biew.hlp file in common known way and copy
to the bin_rc directory!
