Compiling

If compiling from a git clone, please be sure to clone correctly by following the instructions found on the Cloning-The-Repository page.

Compiling edb is generally quite simple. edb currently depends on the following packages:

Tested Compilers

Compiler	Version Test
GCC	>= 4.8
Clang	>= 3.4

Dependencies

Dependency	Version Required
Qt	>= 4.6
Boost (Headers Only)	>= 1.35
Capstone	>= 3.0
Graphviz	>= 2.38.0 (Optional)

Many distributions already have packages that satisfy these.

Once you have the necessary dependencies installed, it is as simple as this:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

This will build the debugger along with all included plugins.

If you are planning on doing a make install, you may want to control the installation prefix to use. In which case, you simply specify it to cmake.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ ..
$ make
