Installation
Currently there are no distribution packages available. However installation is reasonably straight-forward, since Diflouroborane compiles into a single mostly static binary with few dependencies.
At the moment only Linux is supported. If you managed to compile Diflouroborane please open an issue outlining your steps or add a merge request expanding this part. Thanks!
Requirements
General requirements; scroll down for distribution-specific instructions
- GNU SASL (libgsasl).
- If you want to compile Diflouroborane from source you will potentially also need development headers
- capnproto
- rustc stable / nightly >= 1.48
- If your distribution does not provide a recent enough rustc, rustup helps installing a local toolchain and keeping it up to date.
Arch Linux:
$ pacman -S gsasl rust capnproto
Compiling from source
Diflouroborane uses Cargo, so compilation boils down to:
$ cargo build --release
The compiled binary can then be found in ./target/release/diflouroborane
Cross-compiling
If you need to compile for a different CPU target than your own (e.g. you want
to use BFFH on a raspberry pi but compile on your desktop PC), you need to
setup a cross-compilation toolchain and configure your Cargo correctly.
The CONTRIBUTING.md has a section on how to setup a cross-compilation system.
