Hello everybody, I'm reverse engineering the DLL of my MP3 player to be able to use it under GNU/Linux. For being totally efficient I need a disassembler that would replace the function adresses by their symbols - i.e instead of having 'call 123456' you'd have 'call read_file'. Under Linux, I used to use objdump with some front end (ldasm for example) that uses the output of objdump to match the symbols with the adresses. But if I give objdump a DLL, it claims that the object has no symbols.
It has symbols actually, but they are displayed a totally different way than the Linux ELF binaries I've tried. Also, using a DOS disassembler (the IDA freeware) I am able to retrieve these symbols and match them with the adresses. Please note that I am not using Cygwin for doing this - I have binutils compiled with support for all known targets, and use the pei-i386 target with objdump. My questions are: - Is Cygwin's objdump capable of dumping these symbols? I don't think so as it shouldn't be that different from the Linux one which is capable of reading many targets. - Did I miss something? I'm not really a low-level guy and do not know binutils well. Still, I'd really need to disassemble this DLL and don't really want to reinstall a Windows system just to be able to do it. Is there a better target than pei-i386 for reading DLLs with objdump? If a binutils/Cygwin guru could enlighten me, I'd be most gratefull. Thank you for your time!
