Building

Dependencies

fluks depends on a few libraries: libdevmapper, OpenSSL and Boost; in all cases, you will need the -dev versions of these packages if your distro does shit like that. The build system is CMake.

OpenSSL. But you already have this, right?

libdevmapper comes with Device-mapper.

Boost, at least version 1.35.0. If you use C++ but not Boost, your life must be miserable.

CMake

Download and extract

You can download via git or the tarballs in the Download section.

Git

If this is your first time downloading:

git clone git://github.com/markuspeloquin/fluks.git
cd fluks

Otherwise, just update to the HEAD:

cd fluks
git pull origin master # ??? maybe ... I'm no expert ???

Tar

Run one of these depending on which file you have:

tar xzvf fluks-VERSION.tar.gz
xzcat < fluks-VERSION.tar.xz | tar xvf -

Actually build it

You can use cmake directly, but ./build.sh will basically do what you want (a statically-linked, stripped, optimized build). If you want a debug build or to use dynamic linking, you’ll have to edit the top of CMakeLists.txt (I know of no other way). ./build.sh passes all of it’s arguments to make, so you can append -j4 or whatever. I think your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS get picked up by cmake, so just make sure they’re in your environment.

./build.sh
sudo ./build.sh install # copies to /usr/local/bin

The resulting binary will be found in the release/ directory (or debug/ for the debug version).

Source code documentation

The source code documentation uses Doxygen. Running ./gen_docs.sh will build the HTML.
