Let me save you all an hour+ of your life.
Grab the latest version of Ghidra: https: https://ghidra-sre.org/
Use the Ghidra GUI to install the GnuDisassembler and the SleighDevTools.
Install the following dependencies to Kali:
flex
bison
texinfo
zlib1g-dev
grade
Download the latest binutils source into your ~/.ghidra/ghidra_<version>/ directory. Link for the right version can be found in the build.gradle file in that directory.
Set your GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR to the location of your ghidra install (mine was /opt/ghidra/ghidra_<version>.
Check your version of gradle:
gradle –version
Compare the version of gradle Kali installed, to the required version listed in the /Ghidra/application.properties file from the source for the version of ghidra you installed.
Kali installed version 4.4.1 for me, but the minimum for gradle for ghidra 10 is 6!!
If there is a version difference, download the binary for the right version of gradle and use that to run your build command..
Sad to say, I spent over an hour trying to debug completely ambiguous errors from gradle (e.g. Could not find method get() for arguments [] on platform ‘linux64’ of type org.gradle.platform.internal.DefaultNativePlatform).
gradle build
Enjoy!
