OpenBSM Build and Installation Instructions OpenBSM is currently built using autoconf and automake, which should allow for building on a range of operating systems, including FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Linux. Depending on the availability of audit facilities in the underlying operating system, some components that depend on kernel audit support are built conditionally. Typically, build will be performed using: ./configure make To install, use: make install You may wish to specify that the OpenBSM components not be installed in the base system, rather in a specific directory. This may be done using the --prefix argument to configure. If installing to a specific directory, remember to update your library path so that running tools from that directory the correct libbsm is used: ./configure --prefix=/home/rwatson/openbsm make make install LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rwatson/openbsm/libbsm ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH You will need to manually propagate openbsm/etc/* into /etc/security on your system; this is not done automatically so as to avoid disrupting the current configuration. Currently, the locations of these files is not configurable.
