Command line tool to dump Windows DLL version? - dll

I need a command line tool to dump standard Windows DLL version info so I can process it by means of a bash script (Cygwin).
As a Java developer I am not very used to Microsoft development tools (though I have a little bit of experience with Microsoft Visual Embedded C++ 4.0 and Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0).
The appropriate tool seems to be mt.exe, as stated on SO. However the only chance I have found to get this little application is to download a 1.29 GB ISO of the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework. I can not believe this is the only way to do it.
I have also found a little application on the Internet called PEView, but it displays too much (and useless in my case) information and it is not a command line application.
Standard objdump bundled inside Cygwin can also dump some information about the DLL files, but I can not see the option to dump DLL version. Note that MajorImageVersion, MinorImageVersion and other fields dumped by this tool (with -p option) are not related to own DLL version.
Any alternatives about what to do? Maybe I missed some important objdump option? Is mt.exe my only choice? If this is the case, is it possible to get it separately from Windows SDK?

You can use PowerShell to get the information you want.
(Get-Item C:\Path\To\MyFile.dll).VersionInfo
By default this will display ProductVersion and FileVersion
But the full VERSIONINFO is available. I.e. to return Comments
(Get-Item C:\Path\To\MyFile.dll).VersionInfo.Comments

Use Microsoft Sysinternals Sigcheck.
This sample outputs just the version:
sigcheck -q -n foo.dll
Unpacked sigcheck.exe is only 228 KB.

You can write a VBScript script to get the file version info:
VersionInfo.vbs
set args = WScript.Arguments
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.Echo fso.GetFileVersion(args(0))
Wscript.Quit
You can call this from the command line like this:
cscript //nologo VersionInfo.vbs C:\Path\To\MyFile.dll

C:\>wmic datafile where name="C:\\Windows\\System32\\kernel32.dll" get version
Version
6.1.7601.18229

You can also look at filever.exe, which can be downloaded as part of the Windows XP SP2 Support Tools package - only 4.7MB of download.

or you can build one yourself. Open VS, create a new console application. Create a simple project with no ATL or MFC support, leave the stdafx option checked but do not check 'empty project' and call it VersionInfo.
You'll get a simple project with 2 files: VersionInfo.cpp and VersionInfo.h
Open the cpp file and paste the following into it, then compile. You'll be able to run it, first argument is the full filename, it'll print out "Product: 5.6.7.8 File: 1.2.3.4" based on the Version resource block. If there's no version resource it'll return -1, otherwise 0.
Compiles to an 8k binary using the dll CRT, 60k with everything linked statically (set in the C++ options, change "Code Generation page, Runtime options" to "/MT")
HTH.
PS. If you don't want to use Visual Studio, it'll still compile using any c++ compiler (fingers crossed), but you'll almost certainly have to change the #pragma - just specify that lib in the linker settings instead, the pragma's just a shorthand to automatically link with that library.
// VersionInfo.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "version.lib")
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
DWORD handle = 0;
DWORD size = GetFileVersionInfoSize(argv[1], &handle);
BYTE* versionInfo = new BYTE[size];
if (!GetFileVersionInfo(argv[1], handle, size, versionInfo))
{
delete[] versionInfo;
return -1;
}
// we have version information
UINT len = 0;
VS_FIXEDFILEINFO* vsfi = NULL;
VerQueryValue(versionInfo, L"\\", (void**)&vsfi, &len);
WORD fVersion[4], pVersion[4];
fVersion[0] = HIWORD(vsfi->dwFileVersionMS);
fVersion[1] = LOWORD(vsfi->dwFileVersionMS);
fVersion[2] = HIWORD(vsfi->dwFileVersionLS);
fVersion[3] = LOWORD(vsfi->dwFileVersionLS);
pVersion[0] = HIWORD(vsfi->dwProductVersionMS);
pVersion[1] = LOWORD(vsfi->dwProductVersionMS);
pVersion[2] = HIWORD(vsfi->dwProductVersionLS);
pVersion[3] = LOWORD(vsfi->dwProductVersionLS);
printf("Product: %d.%d.%d.%d File: %d.%d.%d.%d\n",
pVersion[0], pVersion[1],
pVersion[2], pVersion[3],
fVersion[0], fVersion[1],
fVersion[2], fVersion[3]);
delete[] versionInfo;
return 0;
}

Using Powershell it is possible to get just the Version string, i.e. 2.3.4 from any dll or exe with the following command
(Get-Item "C:\program files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe").VersionInfo.ProductVersion
Tested on Windows 10

The listdlls tools from Systernals might do the job: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896656.aspx
listdlls -v -d mylib.dll

This function returns the ntfs Windows file details for any file using Cygwin bash (actual r-click-properties-info) to the term
Pass the files path to finfo(), can be unix path, dos path, relative or absolute. The file is converted into an absolute nix path, then checked to see if it is in-fact a regular/existing file. Then converted into an absolute windows path and sent to "wmic". Then magic, you have windows file details right in the terminal. Uses: cygwin, cygpath, sed, and awk. Needs Windows WMI "wmic.exe" to be operational. The output is corrected for easy...
$ finfo notepad.exe
$ finfo "C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe"
$ finfo /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/notepad.exe
$ finfo "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/notepad.exe"
$ finfo ../notepad.exe
finfo() {
[[ -e "$(cygpath -wa "$#")" ]] || { echo "bad-file"; return 1; }
echo "$(wmic datafile where name=\""$(echo "$(cygpath -wa "$#")" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g')"\" get /value)" |\
sed 's/\r//g;s/^M$//;/^$/d' | awk -F"=" '{print $1"=""\033[1m"$2"\033[0m" }'
}

There is an command line application called "ShowVer" at CodeProject:
ShowVer.exe command-line VERSIONINFO display program
As usual the application comes with an exe and the source code (VisualC++ 6).
Out outputs all the meta data available:
On a German Win7 system the output for user32.dll is like this:

For some DLLs I found version info manually with objdump in .rsrc. With objdump -s -j .rsrc zlib1.dll:

Opening a binary file handled by C++ std::ifstream in gem5 syscall emulation fails is_open check

I have mnist.loader.hpp header file that opens and reads t10k-images-idx3-ubyte and t10k-labels-idx1-ubyte binary files in a given path using std::ifstream as can be seen in the snippet below:
std::string imagePath = dataDir + std::string("t10k-images-idx3-ubyte");
std::string labelPath = dataDir + std::string("t10k-labels-idx1-ubyte");
std::ifstream imageStream(imagePath, std::ios::binary);
std::ifstream labelStream(labelPath, std::ios::binary);
The path of the directory having those two binary files dataDir is embedded in mnist_caffe.cpp. It could be changed as per my setting in the std::string dataDir = "data/" line.
I set dataDir to /home/mohamed/, then compiled and statically-linked an aarch64 executable out of them and my target is to simulate it on gem5.
The problem:
gem5 always fails to read the files. It gives "Failed to read /home/mohamed/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte".
If we have a look once again at mnist_loader.hpp, we will notice that this error message is due to either the file not being open as or being opened but can't be read :
if (!imageStream.is_open())
{
std::cerr << "Failed to load " << imagePath << std::endl;
return nullptr;
}
or
imageStream.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&magic), sizeof(magic));
if (magic != 0x03080000)
{
std::cerr << "Failed to read " << imagePath << std::endl;
return nullptr;
}
or
if (!imageStream.good())
{
std::cerr << "Failed to read " << imagePath << std::endl;
return nullptr;
}
My guess is that gem5 can not open the file in the first place!
My trials:
(I am only interested in opening and reading t10k-images-idx3-ubyte for now)
1- Trying to pass the file to the stdin using -i option: $ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -c mnist_caffe -i '/home/mohamed/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte'
2- Using -o: $ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -c mnist_caffe -o "-i /home/mohamed/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte"
3- Using --redirects: $ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -c /home/mohamed/NNDeploy/ML-examples/armnn-mnist/mnist_caffe --redirects /home/mohamed/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte=/home/mohamed/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte
4- Opening the binary file in the host system using xxd and then passing it to stdin: $ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -c ~/NNDeploy/ML-examples/armnn-mnist/mnist_caffe -o " -i /usr/bin/xxd /home/mohamed/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte"
All the above resulted in the same failed-to-read message. I ran out of ideas and it would be great if someone could provide some suggestions!

can't find package tutstack 1.0
while executing
"package require tutstack 1.0"
(file "foo.tcl" line 1)
thufir#dur:~/tcl/packages$
to my understanding, I need to compile a list or map of where packages are.
The problem is that Tcl is not finding the index file (which should be called pkgIndex.tcl) for your package. If you had implemented the weather 1.0 package as a file weather.tcl, then you'd probably be looking to have an index file something like this in the same directory:
package ifneeded weather 1.0 [list source [file join $dir weather.tcl]]
That says “to load version 1.0 of the weather package, run this script” where the script is generated at runtime and binds $dir in (which is a variable always defined in the context where package index loader runs package ifneeded).
Once that's there, you need to allow Tcl to find the index file. This can be done by putting that directory or its immediate parent on the Tcl global auto_path list; either do that inside your script before you load any packages (very useful for applications that have internal packages) or you can initialise that from outside of Tcl too by setting the TCLLIBPATH environment variable. Note that the value of that variable is a Tcl list of directories, not a system path like env(PATH). This matters if you have backslashes or spaces in directory names, or if you want to have multiple elements on the list. Fortunately, you can usually avoid all of these issues in the case of adding a single directory as an environment variable, even on Windows, by using / instead of \ and by following usual installation practice and not putting a space in names. When adding a path during application launch it's easier: you just use lappend, perhaps like this (very early in your main script):
lappend auto_path [file join [file dirname [info script]] my_app_pacakges]
# If the script is in foo/bar.tcl then packages are in or below foo/my_app_packages
result which runs:

How to get TeamCity build version into unmanaged DLLs and OCX controls?

I have a TeamCity build solution with managed (C#) and unmanaged (C++) projects. Is there a TeamCity utility out there similar to Assembly Info Patcher that will change the version numbers in the .rc files for unmanaged C++ DLL and OCX projects to match the build number?
Here's an alternative to StampVer that I ended up doing in PowerShell, which modifies the .rc files prior to the build. I wasn't comfortable with the StampVer constraints of pre-filling the version strings with sufficient space.
#################################################################
#
# Patch all of the given *.rc files and set
# the version strings for DLLs and OCX controls.
#
#################################################################
# Hand parse the arguments so we can separate them with spaces.
$files = #()
$previousArg = "__"
foreach ($arg in $args)
{
if ($previousArg -eq "-version")
{
$version = $arg
}
elseif ($previousArg -eq "__")
{
}
else
{
$files += $arg
}
$previousArg = $arg
}
Function PatchRCFiles([string]$version, [string[]]$files)
{
# check the version number
if ( $version -match "[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+" )
{
echo "Patching all .rc files to version $version"
# convert the version number to .rc format
$rc_version = $version -replace "\.", ","
$rc_version_spaced = $version -replace "\.", ", "
# patch the files we found
ForEach ($file In $files)
{
echo "Processing $file..."
$content = (Get-Content $file)
$content |
Foreach-Object {
$_ -replace "^\s*FILEVERSION\s*[0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+$", " FILEVERSION $rc_version" `
-replace "^\s*PRODUCTVERSION\s*[0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+$", " PRODUCTVERSION $rc_version" `
-replace "(^\s*VALUE\s*`"FileVersion`",\s*)`"[0-9]+,\s*[0-9]+,\s*[0-9]+,\s*[0-9]+`"$", "`$1`"$rc_version_spaced`"" `
-replace "(^\s*VALUE\s*`"ProductVersion`",\s*)`"[0-9]+,\s*[0-9]+,\s*[0-9]+,\s*[0-9]+`"$", "`$1`"$rc_version_spaced`""
} |
Set-Content $file
}
}
else
{
echo "The version must have four numbers separated by periods, e.g. 5.4.2.123"
}
}
PatchRCFiles $version $files
The configuration in TeamCity then looks like this:
Just give the script a list of .rc files you want to tweak. This step must be run prior to the main build steps.
No, teamcity doesn't have anything to update version of C++ dlls, you could however use StampVer.exe to update the version of C++ dlls. You'll need to download the exe and add a build to call the exe which will update the version of the C++ exe or dll.

perl / embperl -- IPC::Open3

I have a sample program in 2 formats perl & embperl
The perl version works as a CGI but the embperl version does not work.
Any suggestions or pointers to solutions would be appreciated
OS: Linux version 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE (...) (gcc version 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:27:53 UTC 2010
NOTE: I originally posted this question to perlmonks [x] and the embperl mailing list [x] but didn't get a solution.
perl working script

use strict;
use IPC::Open3;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
my $cmd = 'ls';
my $pid = open3(*HIS_IN, *HIS_OUT, *HIS_ERR, $cmd);
close(HIS_IN); # give end of file to kid, or feed him
my #outlines = <HIS_OUT>; # read till EOF
my #errlines = <HIS_ERR>; # XXX: block potential if massive
print "STDOUT: ", #outlines, "\n";
print "STDERR: ", #errlines, "\n";

Here is the output I receive
STDERR: ls: write error: Bad file descriptor
child_exit_status: 2
open3 redirects the file descriptor associated with STDOUT, excepting it to be fd 1 (what the program you exec will consider STDOUT). But it's not 1. It doesn't even have a file descriptor associated with it! I consider this a bug in open3. I think you can work around it as follows:
local *STDOUT;
open(STDOUT, '>&=', 1) or die $!;
...open3...
Thank you sooo much to ikegami!!!!
Here is the embperl code that works. P.S. There is a similar problem with STDIN. I don't know the solution to that yet, but I think it is similar.

Can a .bat script write a a java file and compile it?

In this README I give instructions for a quick CL for testing the released tool. I think it would be much better if I provided a .bat and unix script which executed the commands in one click/command. At the same time, unlike a compiled program, it's transparent and users can open the script with the editor and inspect the commands executed.
Can I in a bat save a file?
This is what I'd like it to execute.
$ vim Test.java (windows: notepad Test.java)
class T {
private static void p(int i, Double d, String... s){}
}
public class Test{
#com.dp4j.InjectReflection public void t() {
T.p(1,new Double(2),"hello", "reflection");
}
}
$ ls Test.class T.class (windows: dir Test.class T.class)
ls: Test.class: No such file or directory ls: T.class: No such file or directory
$ javac -cp dp4j-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar Test.java
$ ls Test.class T.class (windows: dir Test.class T.class)
ls Test.class T.class
Yes.
You can put each line in an echo command piped to the file:
echo class T { > MyFile.java
echo private static void p(int i, Double d, String... s){} >> MyFile.java
echo } >> MyFile.java
echo ... >> MyFile.java
> creates a file; >> appends to it.
You can then compile it normally.
Um, perhaps this?
// 2>NUL&GOTO :START
//Just ignore the above line, it's for the batch script.
class T {
private static void p(int i, Double d, String... s){}
}
public class Test{
#com.dp4j.InjectReflection public void t() {
T.p(1,new Double(2),"hello", "reflection");
}
}
/*We start the batch script here.
:START
#CLS&ECHO OFF
START NOTEPAD %0
IF EXIST Test.class GOTO :EXISTS
IF EXIST T.class GOTO :EXISTS
JAVAC -cp dp4j-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar %0
GOTO :END
:EXISTS
ECHO There is a preexisting class file. Aborting.
:END
REM We end the batch script here.*/
By the way, here the batch script and java source are the same file.
This is a unix exectable script that does what I want. I don't know if it works with cygwin on windows:
#!/bin/sh

test_file="Test10.java"

}
public class Test10{

T10.p(1,new Double(2),"hello", "reflection");
}
}
__EOF__
cmd="cat $test_file"
echo $cmd

echo
cmd="javac -Averbose=true -cp $jar_file $test_file"

echo
echo "TEST PASSED: $test_file was compiled with Reflection Injected."

echo "Javadoc, sources, and other artifacts maybe downloaded from http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/com/dp4j/dp4j/"$v"/"
Here's one line command to download it and execute it:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/dp4j/files/1.2/TESTDRIVE ; chmod +x TESTDRIVE ; ./TESTDRIVE
