RE: Run objdump under windows XP for XCOFF object file created from IBM AIX system

[David Du]

Hi, Ian, thanks for your response, I already downloaded both cygwin and
binutils, I used objdump of cygwin to dump out ELF format object files for
my current project under windows XP, now my project needs to support XCOFF
object file dumping in XP environment, the binutils I downloaded seems not
for windows XP environment when I looked at the files I untarred, is there
any MS windows version of binutils? how can I build my own version of the
binutils for rs6000-aix target? I checked the binutils source code, it seems
supporting rs6000-aix target already.

Thanks for further pointing direction for me

David

Yes, it is possible, but it is not particularly easy if you are not
familiar with this kind of thing.

If you have not done so already, you will need to download cygwin--see
    http://cygwin.com/

That will give you an objdump, but one that only supports PE COFF.
You will need to build your own version of the binutils for the
rs6000-aix target.  You can do this using cygwin.  Download the
binutils sources from, and follow the directions.
