Getting funcap.py to work with IDA

[-=bb=-]

Hi all,

I was looking at the plugins for IDA and noticed on the HexRays blog that funcap.py was a winner in last year's plugin contest (hxxps://www.hex-rays.com/contests/2013/index.shtml).

I thought it looked interesting and wanted to have a look at it but I am struggling to get it to work. I get the following errors :

FunCap: please select a debugger first

and

Warning : funcap.py: undefined function PLUGIN_ENTRY

Having little exposure to IDA plugins I tried Googling both of these but got no results that made much sense to me. AFAICT for a scriptable plugin you should define a PLUGIN_ENTRY but looking at the funcap.py code (hxxps://github.com/deresz/funcap/blob/master/funcap.py) there doesn't appear to be one. I can't see this being the main problem as if it were this, no-one would have got it working

Could anyone nudge me in the correct direction to fix this up?

Many thanks in advance.

Its because you have to put funcap in its own folder like IDA\PLUGINS\FUNCAP\funcap.py

run from script >>> funcap.py

Remember to state ida version and python version next time.

Storm Shadow,

Thank you very much. Popped it in its own directory and all issues resolved.

Thanks again.
