Before you compile, you should make sure you have what’s required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following list of packages is extremely recommended, although Orchids should compile and work without them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt-get install libsnmp-base libsnmp-dev<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- \u200b<\/span>libpcap<\/a> to fetch information on network packets. On Linuxes, use
apt-get install libpcap0.8 libpcap0.8-dev<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- libxml2<\/a> to handle XML-based formats such as IDMEF and IODEF. On Mac OS X, this is already installed by default. On Linuxes, use
apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- \u200b<\/span>libprelude, libpreludedb<\/a> to integrate with Prelude (as a source of alerts) and with Prewikka (as a graphical front-end). On Linuxes, use
apt-get install libpreludedb0 libprelude-dev libpreludedb-dev<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nYou will also need to following tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u200b<\/span>Autoconf<\/a> (on Linuxes,
apt-get install autoconf<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n- \u200b<\/span>Automake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u200b<\/span>Libtool<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u200b<\/span>Bison<\/a> (on Linuxes,
apt-get install bison<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n- \u200b<\/span>Flex<\/a> (on Linuxes,
apt-get install flex<\/code>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOn MacOSX, you will also need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u200b<\/span>Xcode<\/a>; you will most likely need the command line additions, which you get by typing
xcode-select --install<\/code> in a Terminal window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- autoconf, automake, and libtool. Install HomeBrew<\/a>, then type:
brew install autoconf automake libtool <\/pre> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nCompilation proper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Go to your local svn directory, the one you created when you downloaded<\/a> the sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\ncd $OHOME\/orchids<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
autoreconf -vfi\n.\/configure\nmake\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis should build OrchIDS in the subdirectory src<\/code> (precisely, $OHOME\/orchids\/src<\/code>). Later, we shall install OrchIDS by typing:<\/p>\n\n\n\nsudo make install<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou don’t need the sudo<\/code> if you are root, or if you install into some directory you own. Before that, we should perhaps look at some compilation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCompilation Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The configure<\/code> script accepts the following specific options, in addition to standard ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n--enable-dmalloc<\/code> : Turn on dmalloc<\/code> (default is off)<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-htmloutput<\/code> : enable HTML Output (default is on).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-debug<\/code> : enable debugging (default is off). Will print a lot of messages at runtime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-gprof<\/code> : enable profiling through gprof (default is off).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-prelude<\/code> : compile the prelude module (default is off).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-sendmail<\/code> : include email sending primitives (default is off).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-xml<\/code> : compile the xml, IDMEF and IODEF modules (default is off).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-snmptrap<\/code> : compile the SNMP trap module (default is off).<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-doxygen<\/code> : use doxygen (default is yes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-runtime-user<\/code> : to use as user id for runtime (default is nobody<\/code>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nObsolete options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n--enable-preproc<\/code> : enable preprocessor support (default used to be on). Suppressed for security reasons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-demo<\/code> : enable demo mode (default was off). This printed a banner on startup and had a few subtle differences in printing stats. Can still be activated by providing the -v<\/code> option (verbose) at startup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-actmon<\/code> : enable activity monitor (default is off). This is a small character that rotates (-, \\, |, \/, -, etc.) on the screen as events come in. Can still be activated by providing the -m<\/code> option (monitor) at startup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-gnuplot<\/code> : use gnuplot (default was yes). Suppressed because OrchIDS no longer has support for reporting graphical info at a prohibitive cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-graphviz-dot<\/code> : use GraphViz dot (default was yes). Suppressed because OrchIDS no longer has support for reporting graphical info at a prohibitive cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-epstopdf<\/code> : use epstopdf (default was yes). Suppressed because OrchIDS no longer has support for reporting graphical info at a prohibitive cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-convert<\/code> : use ImageMagick convert (default was yes). Suppressed because OrchIDS no longer has support for reporting graphical info at a prohibitive cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--with-swiprolog<\/code> : use SWI Prolog and compile the Prolog and Prolog history modules (default was yes). Made obsolete by the new in-memory database primitives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-pcre<\/code> : enable Perl-compatible regular expression matching (default was off). Made obsolete by the new proprietary regexp library (which by the way is not Perl-compatible).<\/li>\n\n\n\n--enable-bsm<\/code> : compile the BSM module (default is on); this is obsolete, the right module that handles BSM is the OpenBSM module.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nNow you’ve earned the right to play a bit with Orchids: go to the Getting started with Orchids<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you prefer to learn how you can tweak Orchids, and how it works, go to the configuration<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dependencies Before you compile, you should make sure you have what’s required: The following list of packages is extremely recommended, although Orchids should compile and work without them: You will also need to following tools: On MacOSX, you will also need: Compilation proper Go to your local svn directory, the one you created when you … Continue reading Compile<\/span>
