Further info of setup about belf

In short: Toss the XML and DLL into your IDA loaders directory and it should pop up, ensure you are running at least IDA 7.0...

With regards to building:

Download the IDA 7.1 SDK, it resolves a lot of the header dependencies (but not all of them), also grab this specific fork of TinyXML.

I downloaded VS2017 along with the target Windows SDK (10.0.17134.0) and edited the include/lib directories (as currently they are hardcoded to a location on his drive), and the IDA 7.1 SDK (so mimic'ing his exact build...)

There was only one change I had to do in order to get it to compile, the dyninfo.jmprel() was not defined, so I created the entry, and it was able to compile!

Next I tried just using the IDA 7.0 SDK, unfortunately this wouldn't compile, as in the belf_loader.cpp, dyninfo.jmprel(), ELFOSABI_NAC, ELFOSABI_CELLOSLV2 are missing (defined in elf.h for IDA 7.1 SDK)... and the reader.cpp is pretty much completely broken cause of it.

When I point to the IDA 7.1 SDK elf folder, then it can compile fine...

Build Requirements/Dependencies:
Visual Studio 2017
Windows SDK 10.0.17134.0
Proper include/lib directories defined
IDA 7.1 SDK
