Build steps

CentOS and RedHat

1. Prepair the environment.

# install gcc
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# install cmake
yum install -y epel-release
yum install -y cmake3
ln -s /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake
# install more required libraries
yum -y install zlib-devel libpcap-devel boost-devel boost-static

# build and install libzmq
wget https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/archive/v4.3.2.zip
unzip v4.3.2.zip
cd /path/to/unziped/dir
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
sudo make -j4 install

# build and install cppzmq
wget https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq/archive/v4.6.0.zip
unzip v4.6.0.zip
cd /path/to/unziped/dir
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCPPZMQ_BUILD_TESTS=OFF ..
sudo make -j4 install

2. build static libs of third parties from src code (links provided below) and copy the built libs to /path/cloud-probe/dep/unix/lib

• https://github.com/boostorg/boost/archive/refs/tags/boost-1.59.0.tar.gz
• https://github.com/curl/curl/archive/refs/tags/curl-7_51_0.tar.gz
• https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/archive/refs/tags/libpcap-1.5.3.tar.gz
• https://github.com/openssl/openssl/archive/refs/tags/OpenSSL_1_0_2k.tar.gz
• https://github.com/google/glog/archive/refs/tags/v0.5.0-rc2.tar.gz
• https://github.com/orocos-toolchain/log4cpp/archive/refs/tags/v2.9.1.tar.gz

Note: you can also get those libs built by us from below link for your convenience.

• https://github.com/Netis/cloud-probe/releases/download/v0.7.0/static_lib.tar.gz

4. Clone or download the project.
5. Go to the project folder and build it.

cd /path/to/cloud-probe
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make

5. Check output binaries. There should be four files in the bin folder.

ls ../bin
gredemo*     gredump*     pcapcompare* pktminerg*
