BinPAC is a high level language for describing protocol parsers and
|
|
generates C++ code. It is currently maintained and distributed with the
|
|
Bro Network Security Monitor distribution, however, the generated parsers
|
|
may be used with other programs besides Bro.

Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
BinPAC relies on the following libraries and tools, which need to be
|
|
installed before you begin:
|
|
|
|
* Flex (Fast Lexical Analyzer)
|
|
Flex is already installed on most systems, so with luck you can
|
|
skip having to install it yourself.
|
|
|
|
* Bison (GNU Parser Generator)
|
|
Bison is also already installed on many system.
|
|
|
|
* CMake 2.6.3 or greater
|
|
CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system, typically
|
|
not installed by default. See http://www.cmake.org for more
|
|
information regarding CMake and the installation steps below for
|
|
how to use it to build this distribution. CMake generates native
|
|
Makefiles that depend on GNU Make by default
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To build and install into ``/usr/local``::
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
cd build
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
This will perform an out-of-source build into the build directory using
|
|
the default build options and then install the binpac binary into
|
|
``/usr/local/bin``.
|
|
|
|
You can specify a different installation directory with::
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=<dir>
|
|
|
|
Run ``./configure --help`` for more options.
