Hacking How to convert a .bin file to a usable .elf file?

[Reecey]

Hi,

I wanted to convert .bin file from a make file into a .elf file to use with the Homebrew Launcher. Can anyone help me with this part I'm a bit stuck that will probably know how? I found this on the web> https://gist.github.com/tangrs/4030336 "bin2elf.sh" but there are no instructions on how to use it and I really haven't got a clue on what to do. I have never done one before so I don't know what to do, I am a .elf file converter virgin!

That is a shell script. Can you not simply run it?

No its a .sh file a script would be a .bat file.

That's a LINUX/UNIX shell script. You're going need to install either Linux or a virtual machine with Linux. Mac's also work if I'm not mistaken

I didn't know that no I have not got linux at hand. Do you know how to convert bin to elf on windows?

Forget that its to much hassle installing a virtual based linux. There must be an easier way on windows I'm surprised no one has made an app yet for this.

No. I said it was a Shell script, not a batch script.

Try cygwin or MinGW with MSYS. Not sure if it has all of the stuff required by the script, but it might.

That costs. It's not worth doing.
