Disclaimer

solink is currently still in development and doesn't produce working binaries yet.

About

solink reads ELF binaries and attempts to satisfy external references by reading provided shared objects and patching the binary. A common use case for this tool is for users without access to the source code of an application needing a portable executable without external references.

Usage

solink <Flag(s)> [Path to shared object(s)] [Path to target]

All flags are optional, but there has to be at least one shared object. The last argument is always the executable to be linked to. If no arguments are provided, solink will output a help text (equivalent to solink --help).

Warning: It's highly discouraged to link against system libraries (such as glibc). While this works, it can have unwanted side effects or cause programs to crash.

Example:

solink -o my_patched_app libs/my_lib1.so libs/my_lib2.so my_app

Flags

For a list of flags and options, see the documentation.
