In order to build Unstrung you have to have these libraries installed on your device
- boost
- libnl3
- libpcap
- libusb
If you use any debian based distro(ex. raspbian) you can install them just by typing
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libnl-3-dev libpcap-dev libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
The script install-apt-deps.sh can be used to get the most up-to-date set of packages. On x86 it will attempt to install gcc-multilib, and install packages for both 32-bit and 64-bit compilations.
(it takes quite a long time on unpacking libboost1.55-dev,do not kill the process)
Clone the source repository
git clone https://github.com/mcr/unstrung.git
cd unstrung/
