Compiling From Sources

Configure

See REQUIREMENTS.md for the complete list of dependencies.

Configure with the default settings:

test -f configure || autoreconf -iv
./configure
make

Configure with non-standard settings:

asn1c-specific ./configure options include:

Option	Description
--enable-ASN_DEBUG	produce debug log during make check testing
--enable-code-coverage	whether to enable code coverage support
--enable-Werror	abort compilation after any C compiler warning
--enable-test-Werror	abort compiling tests after any C compiler warning

invoke ./configure --help for details.

Build

Build the libraries and the compiler:

make

Ensure asn1c is still behaving well after compiling on your platform:

make check

Install

Install the compiler into a standard location:

make install
# Use ./configure --prefix to override install location.

Display the asn1c manual page:

man asn1c
