Installing bap-ida-python with IDA 7.0?

[Dinatrix]

Hello,

After installing bap 1.3.0 and the newest IDA (7.0) I attempted to install bap-ida-python.1.2.0 but the conf.ida.0.1 has been unable to find where IDA has been installed and bap-ida-python install fails.

Inspecting the conf-ida-0.1 script, it has been trying to locate 'idaq64', yet the IDA no longer appears to have idaq64 (just ida64 and idat64). I edited the conf-ida to locate 'ida64' but retrying 'opam install bap-ida-python.1.2.0' seems to overwrite these changes with the previous conf-ida version.

Is there a way to install bap-ida-python.1.2.0 using opam accounting for the IDA 7.0 update?
Thanks!

Well, we don't yet support IDA 7.0, and fixing conf-ida wouldn't be enough. We will add the support soon, but as a workaround I would suggest you to do the following. Go the folder, where IDA is installed, and make a links from the new names to the old ones, e.g.,

ln -s ida64 idaq64
ln -s idat64 idal64
ln -s ida64 idaq
ln -s idat64 idal

Hmm the problem persists after creating the symbolic links:

The configuration script relies on the locate command, that uses a database of files updated by a system automatically. However, since you just added new files, chances are high that the didn't yet land into the database. So you may speed them up, by updating the database locally, with the following command

sudo updatedb

Also, apparently we chose an incorrect mapping, as I was expecting that IDA 7.0 will not have 32 bit versions at all. According to your screenshot there are still 32 bit versions available, so we need to remap them. So, please proceed to the IDA folder, and do the following:

rm idal idaq
ln -s ida idaq
ln -s idat idal

That worked! Thank you :)
