 Forums >>  IDA Pro  >>  BugScam Does Not Work in IDA Pro 5.0?

Topic created on: July 29, 2007 13:02 CDT by stahl .

hi everyone,

i have problems getting bugscam to run

it is bugscam 0.1 (c)
it says:
ERROR: Failed to open bugscam.conf.

i installed it in
c:\Programme\IDA\idc\bugscam
like the readme text suggestes.

sadly the error message doesn't help me: does it not find the conf, or can it not be opened? is it because i use a version of ida pro to recent? isit because i use a german windows xp, that the path is not as expected?
please help!!! i really need it quick for a survey on bug tracking tools...

I think bugscam never was inteded to be a serious program for finding bugs. Rather an "open sourced" "bugscan" ;-)

Why don't you email the author? ;-)

If I remember well, you have to run IDA from its path. If you open directly an IDB file or if you run it from the startup menu, the plugin path is not retrieved properly.
It is rather easy to patch the script. Else you can edit your shortcuts properties.

hello,

thank you

yes thats what halvar told me yesterday about it:
--------------------
You can use the GUI. Just start IDA by doing

start-execute-"cmd.exe"
then change the directory to where the IDA executable is (using the "cd" command)
launch IDAg.exe there

bugscam is an unmaintained joke dating back to 2002. I would not recommend using
it for anything serious.
