How To Fix oxref: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu oxref is provided by oxref package.

oxref is:

The program oxref writes to the standard output stream a cross reference of symbols defined in unstripped object files and/or libraries.

It demangles C++ symbols and can (probably) be used for a large range of languages.

Oxref does not interpret the object files and libraries itself, but calls objdump(1) to do so. The output produced by objdump is then filtered by oxref, generating the cross reference listing.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install oxref

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install oxref.

sudo apt -y install oxref

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install oxref
