Building on Windows
|
||
|
###################
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following are instructions for building Suricata on Windows in an
|
||
|
MSYS2 environment. This is targeted to users who plan to develop
|
||
|
Suricata, or create Suricata packages for Windows. For end users we
|
||
|
recommend the Windows installer available on the Suricata download
|
||
|
page: https://suricata.io/download/
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dependencies
|
||
|
************
|
||
|
|
||
|
Before building on Windows, the following dependencies must be
|
||
|
installed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* MSYS2: MSYS2 provides the Windows build environment required by
|
||
|
Suricata. Install from https://www.msys2.org/.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Npcap for Windows: This is required for live capture on Windows. If
|
||
|
only PCAP processing is desired, this dependency can be skipped. The
|
||
|
"Npcap Installer" package as well as the "Npcap SDK" need to be
|
||
|
installed. Download from https://npcap.com/.
|
||
|
|
||
|
MSYS2
|
||
|
=====
|
||
|
|
||
|
First, MSYS2 must be installed. This can be done with the MSYS2
|
||
|
installer from https://www.msys2.org/.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once installed, the following directions assume the default ``UCRT64``
|
||
|
environment will be used.
|
||
|
|
||
|
MSYS2 Dependencies
|
||
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Prepare your MSYS2 development environment by installing the following
|
||
|
dependencies::
|
||
|
|
||
|
pacman -S \
|
||
|
autoconf \
|
||
|
automake \
|
||
|
git \
|
||
|
make \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cbindgen \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-jansson \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-libpcap \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-libtool \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-libyaml \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-pcre2 \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-rust \
|
||
|
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain \
|
||
|
unzip
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. note:: If asked to enter a selection, particularly for the
|
||
|
toolchain dependency, select the default of ``all``.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Npcap
|
||
|
=====
|
||
|
|
||
|
Npcap is required for live capture on Windows. The driver and the SDK
|
||
|
must be installed to build Suricata on Windows with live capture
|
||
|
support.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Both the driver installers and the SDK can be downloaded from
|
||
|
https://npcap.com/.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Npcap Driver
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The driver is a native Windows application installer. Install it using
|
||
|
the downloaded installer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Npcap SDK
|
||
|
---------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The SDK can be installed from Windows, or from inside the MSYS2
|
||
|
environment. The following documentation assumes the SDK was installed
|
||
|
inside the MSYS2 environment like so::
|
||
|
|
||
|
curl -OL https://npcap.com/dist/npcap-sdk-1.15.zip
|
||
|
unzip npcap-sdk-1.15.zip -d /npcap
|
||
|
|
||
|
Building
|
||
|
********
|
||
|
|
||
|
::
|
||
|
|
||
|
./autogen.sh
|
||
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
|
||
|
--with-libpcap-includes=/c/npcap/Include \
|
||
|
--with-libpcap-libraries=/c/npcap/Lib/x64
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. note:: If intentionally building without ``Npcap`` support you can
|
||
|
leave off the ``--with-libpcap`` configure options, and the
|
||
|
MSYS2 libpcap will be used without live capture support.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Installation
|
||
|
************
|
||
|
|
||
|
To install in the MSYS2 environment, run::
|
||
|
|
||
|
make install
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. attention:: At this time, ``make install-conf`` and ``make
|
||
|
install-full`` do not work properly. See ticket
|
||
|
https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/7763
|
||
|
for details. You will manually need to copy
|
||
|
configuration files, and/or update command line and
|
||
|
configuration file options to find relevant
|
||
|
configuration files to run inside the MSYS2
|
||
|
environment.
