I've read on webpages that some people could compile libdwarf with 
visual studio, but I couldn't find how they do it. I've tried almost 
everything, also I tried to compile the library on visual studio with 
mingw's make but it doesn't compile correctly.
I think my last option is to read the .axf file through readelf 
(binutils) as an .exe and get the output to handle it on the C# program. 
I would like not to need more programs to do this, because the C# 
program can be developed on multiple computers. 

Otherwise, if someone knows how to get what in the following webpage is 
asked:

Thanks for the help,
