Makefile options

This section contains instructions to customize the installation of Wazuh by compiling the source code before executing the installation script.

You can also find here the different settings available for the Makefile. Each setting is described and includes the default and allowed values that you can use.

Compiling the source code

When following the official documentation to install the Wazuh server or the agent from sources, the user runs the install.sh script. This will automatically compile the source code before installing it, but some customizations can be made prior to the script execution.

To compile the code with make, the working directory must be where the MAKEFILE resides, in this case, the /src directory of the installation folder:

# cd wazuh/src
# make deps
# make <OPTIONS>

Note

By default, the make deps command will download the necessary pre-compiled dependencies for manager nodes. To download the dependencies of the agent type nodes, it is necessary to indicate TARGET=agent or TARGET=winagent in case it is a Windows agent.

Note

To download the external dependencies without pre-compiled files, the make deps command will need to be executed with the EXTERNAL_SRC_ONLY=yes flag. The external dependencies will be built as part of the Wazuh compilation process.

After compiling the source code, now you can execute the installation script:

# cd ../
# ./install.sh

Warning

Some dependencies must be downloaded before compiling. If make deps is not executed before that, an error message will appear asking the user to do it.

Makefile reference

Available targets

deps

Download external dependencies, required for compiling the code. If TARGET is not specified, it will download the dependencies of the manager nodes (TARGET=server). To download the dependencies of the agents it is necessary to use TARGET=agent or TARGET=winagent in case it is a Windows agent. Requires Internet connectivity.

external

Compile the external dependencies. Will be done automatically when using build.

build

Compile the source code. Requires external dependencies and a TARGET flag.

utils

Compile the complementary tools used by Wazuh binaries.

test-rules

Run test suite for rules and decoders.

clean

Removes all contents, including compiled files, including external dependencies, tests, and configuration.

clean-deps

Removes all external dependencies, including downloaded files.

clean-external

Removes compiled external dependencies, but won't remove downloaded files.

clean-internals

Removes all compiled internal dependencies.

clean-framework

Removes all compiled files used to build the Wazuh framework.

clean-windows

Removes all compiled files used to build the Windows agent.

clean-config

Removes all compiled configuration files.

clean-test

Removes all compiled files used for testing.

There are other targets used to get information about the Makefile, but they won't build, download or compile anything:

help

Show information about the Makefile.
