About

Common docker image for building software reverse engineering (SRE) framework Ghidra from Github's or private fork's source.

Using

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/dukebarman/ghidra-builder
cd ghidra-builder

Create a docker image (if your user is in docker group, you may execute commands without sudo):

sudo docker-tpl/build

Run the build script from the working directory:

cd workdir
sudo ../docker-tpl/run ./build_ghidra.sh

It will clone a ghidra repository to the current directory and copy build to out dir:

ls    
build_ghidra.sh  ghidra out

At the next time, update this ghidra repo, checkout needed commit or patch:

cd workdir/ghidra
git pull

And for testing other branches, for example, with new debugger feature, you may make checkout:

cd workdir/ghidra # if you didn't make it earlier
git checkout debugger

After building a few files don't have executable flag:

chmod +x ./GPL/DemanglerGnu/os/linux64/demangler_gnu
chmod +x ./GPL/CabExtract/os/linux64/cabextract
chmod +x ./Ghidra/Features/Decompiler/os/linux64/decompile
chmod +x ./support/launch.sh
chmod +x ghidraRun

Or copy and use set_exec_flag.sh script to unzipped ghidra folder.

Testing

The Developers've added scripts for testing so you may uncomment Tests section in build_ghidra.sh.
