ghidraDev misc issues (WIP)

[deliciouslytyped]

Note: this issue isn't formatted well, I just needed to dump the info, will clean up later

The ghidraDev plugin works with a sufficiently new eclipse (4.10 I think?), which can be retrieved from a sufficiently new nixpkgs. There is a gdk problem currently causing a lot of segfaults, which is worked around by the unset.

unset GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE; nix-shell -I "nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz" -p eclipses.eclipse-java

• Creating a new Ghidra Module project will fail with IOError: Failed to find skeleton directory. if you use nix-build and specify a path like /home/user/ghidra/result. My hypothesis is that symlinks are not followed properly. Specifying a direct path to the nix store is successful.
• Deal with something like server/svrInstall and the other server dir stuff?
• TODO: add some sort of eclipse plugin output to the expression (its just a zip file in a subdir)
• TODO: ghidraWithPlugins ?

The gdk-pixbuf issue looks like #54278.

I seem to have successfully made a working plugin system, I should be filing a PR in the coming days.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
