vcpkg install mmloader:x64-windows-static
if you want to use mmloader in shellcode mode, you need to install it with feature shellcode:
vcpkg install mmloader[shellcode]:x86-windows-static
vcpkg install mmloader[shellcode]:x64-windows-static
build from source
The build system has been switched to CMake, you can generate and build the project with the following commands:
generate the project files
cmake -S . -B .build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -DBUILD_SHELLCODE_GEN=TRUE -DBUILD_MMLOADER_DEMO=TRUE
-S .: the source tree root folder
-B .build: the build folder .build
-G "Visual Studio xx xxxx": generate the solution file for VS
-A : target architecture, support Win32 & x64 only
-DBUILD_SHELLCODE_GEN=TRUE: enable shellcode generator
-DBUILD_MMLOADER_DEMO=TRUE: enable demo projects
build the projects
cmake --build .build
How to use
