SLEIGH is a language used to describe the semantics of instruction sets of general-purpose microprocessors, with enough detail to facilitate the reverse engineering of software compiled for these architectures. It is part of the GHIDRA reverse engineering platform, and underpins two of its major components: its disassembly and decompilation engines.
This repository provides a CMake-based build project for SLEIGH so that it can be built and packaged as a standalone library, and be reused in projects other than GHIDRA.

# Clone this repository (CMake project for SLEIGH)
git clone https://github.com/lifting-bits/sleigh.git
cd sleigh
# Update the GHIDRA submodule
git submodule update --init --recursive --progress
# Create a build directory
mkdir build
cd build
# Configure CMake
cmake \
-DSLEIGH_ENABLE_INSTALL=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<path where SLEIGH will install>" \
-G Ninja \
..
# Build SLEIGH
cmake --build .
# Install SLEIGH
cmake --build . --target installThe CMake configuration also supports building packages for SLEIGH. If the SLEIGH_ENABLE_PACKAGING option is set during the configuration step, the build step will generate a tarball containing the SLEIGH installation. Additionally, the build will create an RPM package if it finds rpm in the PATH and/or a DEB package if it finds dpkg in the PATH.
For example:
cmake \
-DSLEIGH_ENABLE_PACKAGING=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<path where SLEIGH will install>" \
-G Ninja \
..
# Build SLEIGH
cmake --build .
# Package SLEIGH
cmake --build . --target packageSee the LICENSE file in the top directory of this repo.
