To build and run, you need:
- The GNU toolchain (gcc 4.0 or newer is required)
- - GNU bison and flex
- GNU bash 2.0 or newer
- Perl (any reasonably new version; 5.6.1 works for me)
- - ZLib (newer than stone-age)
- pkg-config
- Linux (porting to other systems should be easy)
- - GNUPlot 4.0 or newer (if you want to use Watson to draw nice graphs
- with various statistics)
- Libjpeg, libpng and libungif to support all image formats
(jpeg, png and gif). These libraries can be replaced by libgif (gif)
and GraphicsMagick >= 1.1 (jpeg, png, gif and possible more formats).
See sherlock/default.cfg for related configuration switches.
- - Mutt mail client for mail reports in some scripts
- (any reasonably new version; 1.5.9 works)
- - GNU readline (optional, only non-free version of Sherlock)
Compiling
