Installation from source

Install build-dependencies

In order to build on Debian/Ubuntu make sure you install the following build-dependencies

$ sudo apt build-essential cmake ragel pkg-config libsqlite3-dev libpcap-dev

In order to configure with cmake first create and cd into a build directory:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build

Then call cmake from inside the build directory:

$ cmake ../

Common options for Cmake are:

-DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=On/Off Build static libraries
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=On/Off Build shared libraries
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release|Debug|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel] Configure build type and determine optimizations and certain features, for examples, Fat runtimes are not compatible with Debug mode at the moment.

And then you can run make in the same directory, if you have a multi-core system with N cores, running

$ make -j <N>

will speed up the process. If all goes well, you should have the vectorscan library
