Build FireSight (Linux)

On Unix, FireSight is built as:

• lib_firesight.so a C++ shared library
• firesight a UNIX command line interface

Debian, Ubuntu

Linux installation is easy. The following has been tested on :

• Raspbian (Raspberry Pi)
• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Chromium Pixel)
• Linux Mint 17 Qiana (VirtualBox)

sudo apt-get install git
git clone git://github.com/firepick1/FireSight
cd FireSight
./build

Note: Depending on your distro, you may need to install build-essential via the command sudo apt-get install build-essential. This was the case for Linux Mint. If your build fails with the text: CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name., then this means you're missing the g++ compiler, which for some reason doesn't come with the distro.

Gentoo

Paul Jones has built FireSight on Gentoo.
