BUILDING
--------

Make sure all the needed tools (compiler, swig) are on the PATH.

1, Unpack the IDAPython source and IDA Pro SDK into the following
   directory structure:

   swigsdk-versions/5.1/  - version 5.1 of the IDA Pro SDK
   idapython/             - IDAPython source code

2, Patch the SDK using GNU Patch with one of patches from patches/ directory.
   You will have to use the -P option depending on which directory you
   patch from.

3, On Mac OS X copy libida.dylib from the IDA install directory to
   swigsdk-versions/5.1/libgcc32.mac/

4, Build the plugin

   python build.py

   It is possible to build the plugin for different Python versions by
   running build.py with the corresponding Python binary.

5, Install the components as described in README.txt

See build.py for build details and possible tweaks.
