To compile the sources from a release tarball, you’ll need the development files for:
-
libqb - used for local UNIX socket based IPC
-
protobuf - used for IPC message (de)serialization
-
asciidoc (a2x) - needed to generate documentation
Optionally, you may want to install:
-
libseccomp - used to implement a syscall whitelist
-
libcap-ng - used to drop process capabilities
And then do:
$ ./configure --with-crypto-library=sodium # or "gcrypt", based on your preference $ make $ sudo make install
After the sources are successfully built, you can run the test suite by executing:
$ make check
