FAQ
I get a fatal error: 'openssl/evp.h' file not found
. How can I fix that?
Please install OpenSSL for your system. Use a package manager to make things easier. If you're compiling pev in macOS, make sure you've set both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables according.
I get the one of the following errors when trying to compile with make
command:
$ make
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'all'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/pev/lib/libpe'
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2
$ make
cd lib/libpe && /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
It seems libpe is missing. Have you forgot the --recursive
switch of git clone command?
Anyway, download libpe source code, put it in the right directoy and try again:
cd pev/lib
rmdir libpe
git clone https://github.com/merces/libpe.git
cd ..
make
Please check the online documentation for more details.
