## Pattern Language
|
|
|
|
The custom C-like Pattern Language developed and used by ImHex is easy to read, understand and learn. A guide with all features of the language can be found [in the wiki](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex/wiki/Pattern-Language-Guide) or a simpler version in ImHex under `Help -> Pattern Language Cheat Sheet`
|
|
|
|
## Additional Files
|
|
|
|
For format patterns, includable libraries and magic files, check out the [ImHex-Patterns](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex-Patterns) repository. Feel free to PR your own files there as well!

## Compiling
|
|
|
|
You need a C++20 compatible compiler such as GCC 10.2.0 to compile ImHex. Moreover, the following dependencies are needed for compiling ImHex:
|
|
|
|
- GLFW3
|
|
- libmagic, libgnurx, libtre, libintl, libiconv
|
|
- libmbedtls
|
|
- capstone
|
|
- Python3
|
|
- freetype2
|
|
- Brew (macOS only)
|
|
- Xcode (macOS only)
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
On Windows, ImHex is built through msys2 / mingw. To install all dependencies, open a mys2 window and run the PKGCONFIG script in the (dist/msys2)[dist/msys2] folder.
|
|
After all the dependencies are installed, run the following commands to build ImHex:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
|
|
make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To create a standalone zipfile on Windows, get the Python standard library (e.g. from https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/master/Lib) and place the files and folders in `lib/python3.8` next to your built executable. Don't forget to also copy the `libpython3.8.dll` and `libwinpthread-1.dll` from your mingw setup next to the executable.
|
|
|
|
- Copy the files from `python_libs` in the `lib` folder next to your built executable.
|
|
- Place your magic databases in the `magic` folder next to your built executable
|
|
- Place your patterns in the `pattern` folder next to your built executable
|
|
- Place your include pattern files in the `include` folder next to your built executable
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
To build ImHex on macOS, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew bundle --no-lock --file dist/Brewfile
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
CC=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang CXX=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib/pkgconfig":"$(brew --prefix)/lib/pkgconfig" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
|
|
make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the ImHex executable as well as libimhex.dylib to wherever ImHex should be installed.
|
|
|
|
All other files belong in `~/Library/Application Support/imhex`:
|
|
```
|
|
Patterns: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/patterns
|
|
Pattern Includes: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/includes
|
|
Magic files: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/magic
|
|
Python: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/lib/pythonX.X
|
|
Plugins: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/plugins
|
|
Configuration: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/config
|
|
Resources: ~/Library/Application Support/imhex/resources
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
Dependency installation scripts are available for many common Linux distributions in the (/dist)[dist] folder.
|
|
After all the dependencies are installed, run the following commands to build ImHex:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
|
|
make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Put the ImHex executable into the `/usr/bin` folder.
|
|
Put libimhex.so into the `/usr/lib` folder.
|
|
Configuration files go to `/etc/xdg/imhex` or `~/.config/imhex`.
|
|
All other files belong in `/usr/share/imhex` or `~/.local/share/imhex`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Patterns: /usr/share/imhex/patterns
|
|
Pattern Includes: /usr/share/imhex/includes
|
|
Magic files: /usr/share/imhex/magic
|
|
Python: /usr/share/imhex/lib/pythonX.X
|
|
Plugins: /usr/share/imhex/plugins
|
|
Configuration: /etc/xdg/imhex/config
|
|
Resources: /usr/share/imhex/resources
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All paths follow the XDG Base Directories standard, and can thus be modified
|
|
with the environment variables `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS`,
|
|
`XDG_DATA_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
