Re: Bugzilla bug 493 - libbfd seg fault


Alan,

This code works just fine on Linux IA32 and AIX PPC.  Adding bfd_init()
makes no difference.  set_default_bfd_target() seems to be a function used
only by binutils when you want to look at binaries from a different
platform and is unresolved if I try to use it, so obviously not in the
library.

Now what?

You haven't called bfd_init, or set_default_bfd_target.  Take a look at
one of the existing binutils utilities, eg. binutils/objdump.c, for
an example of what needs to be done.
