Specify Library Path with analyzeHeadless?

[psparc82]

Hi,

I have an unpacked EXT4 root filesystem that I'd like to recursively analyze with the analyzeHeadless script.

The libraries each binary uses are under /lib or /usr/lib, how can I tell analyzeHeadless to use these library paths so it can resolve the symbols and automatically apply markup to the binaries that use these symbols?

Importing each binary in the UI and pressing Options... (before analyzing) lets you do this but I can't figure out how to do it with the analyzeHeadless script

Thanks!

Ghidra 11.2, which hasn't been released yet, will support a -librarySearchPaths headless option, which will let you do what you desire. Are you able to build the master branch?

Yes, try something like:

GHIDRA_HOME=/home/ghidra/ghidra_11.3_DEV ./support/analyzeHeadless /home/test_repo test -import <path/to/file> -librarySearchPaths <path/to/libs;path/to/more/libs> -loader ElfLoader -loader-loadLibraries true

You can also add something like

-loader-libraryDestinationFolder libs

or something similar so your imported libraries go into a libs/ project subfolder.

If the libraries are already imported to something like libs, you can do

-loader-linkExistingProjectLibraries true -loader-projectLibrarySearchFolder libs

how to set：recursive library load depth?

-recursive <depth>
