"The Hacker's Sandbox" Build Documentation

THS has three external dependencies, which you will need before you can compile.

  • Lua (tested with 5.2, though others should work)
  • PCRE
  • Boost (Thread and System modules)

On a Debian-based system, you can install these using the following:

$ sudo apt-get install liblua5.2-dev libpcre3-dev libboost-thread-dev

Manual Library Management

Alternatively, you can throw the header files within a libs subfolder in the source directory. For example, ./libs/lua/ or ./libs/pcre/. If you do, library binaries will be in a further subfolder for the OS name you are using (this is the result of uname -s). For example, on a macOS system, Lua binaries can be placed under ./libs/lua/Darwin/.

Building

Once the libraries are in-place, you can run make to build your binaries. This will create a sandbox binary that you can run.

$ make

By default, it uses the name lua for the linker. On some systems, however, this name may be different. If you have used apt-get install liblua5.2-dev to install Lua on Debian, for example, you will need to specify the Lua version to make in order to build properly.

$ make LUA=5.2
