Corflags tool Tutorial

-

Corflags tools is used to know whether your .exe or .dll is meant to run only on a specific platform or under WOW64. This tool will be very useful if you are planning to run the application on 32 and 64 bit machines.

This tool is automatically installed with Visual Studio. Open Visual Studio Command Prompt.

Syntax:
corflags AssemblyName

Eg: Corflags.exe AssemblyName.dll

Some of the fields present in the output are:

Version : .NET Version that the binary was built with
CLR Header: 2.0 means either 1.1 or 1.1 while 2.5 means 2.0
PE &32 Bit: The platform this binary was compiled to run with:

Any CPU: PE = PE32 and 32BIT = 0
X86 : PE = PE32 and 32BIT = 1
x64: PE = PE32+ and 32BIT = 0

 ILONLY: If the assembly contains unmanaged code the value is 0 else 1.
Signed: Whether this assembly was signed using a stronger key.

You can see from the above screenshot, when the second argument is a subset of first argument, "present" was returned, else "notpresent" was returned We can also use bb.utils.contains inside if loop. This we can use inside a recipe. if ${@bb.utils.contains('SOMEFLAG','NEWVALUE3','true','false',d)}; then     FOO = 'HELLO' fi

Building the Linux Kernel is a two-step process: Configuring the Kernel options Building the Kernel with those options. There are many methods available for configuring the kernel. make config: Text-based Configuration.  Options are prompted one after another. All options need to be answered Access to former options is not possible make menuconfig: Menu-driven user interface Allows to navigate forwards and backward directly between features Allows to load and save files with filenames different from ".config" Provides search feature It uses ncurses library for GUI. If the ncurses library is not installed, make menuconfig option fails. To install ncurses library on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev make defconfig: Creates a ".config" file with default options from the ARCH supplied defconfig Configurations are generally stored in the directory: arch/$(ARCH)/configs $ ls arch/x86/configs/ i386_defconfi
