Start a section in the README for documenting that custom CFLAGS yields custom results and that your mileage may vary. The first CFLAG to document that you likely want to include is -fno-semantic-interposition.

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
SELinux libraries and tools are packaged in several Linux distributions:
|
|
|
|
* Alpine Linux (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/testing/x86/policycoreutils)
|
|
* Arch Linux User Repository (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/policycoreutils/)
|
|
* Buildroot (https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/package/policycoreutils)
|
|
* Debian and Ubuntu (https://packages.debian.org/sid/policycoreutils)
|
|
* Gentoo (https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/policycoreutils)
|
|
* RHEL and Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/policycoreutils)
|
|
* Yocto Project (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-selinux/tree/recipes-security/selinux)
|
|
* and many more (https://repology.org/project/policycoreutils/versions)
|
|

Building and testing
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Build dependencies on Fedora:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# For C libraries and programs
|
|

|
|
audit-libs-devel \
|
|
bison \
|

# For Python and Ruby bindings
|
|
dnf install \
|
|
python3-devel \
|
|
ruby-devel \
|
|
swig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build dependencies on Debian:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# For C libraries and programs
|
|
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
|
|
bison \
|
|

|
|
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
|
|
python3-dev \
|
|
ruby-dev \
|
|
swig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build and install everything under a private directory, run:
|
|
|
|
make clean distclean
|
|
|
|
make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-rubywrap install-pywrap
|
|
|
|
On Debian `PYTHON_SETUP_ARGS=--install-layout=deb` needs to be set when installing the python wrappers in order to create the correct python directory structure.
|
|
|
|
To run tests with the built libraries and programs, several paths (relative to `$DESTDIR`) need to be added to variables `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, `$PATH` and `$PYTHONPATH`.
|
|
This can be done using [./scripts/env_use_destdir](./scripts/env_use_destdir):
|
|
|
|
DESTDIR=~/obj ./scripts/env_use_destdir make test
|
|
|
|
Some tests require the reference policy to be installed (for example in `python/sepolgen`).
|
|
In order to run these ones, instructions similar to the ones in section `install` of [./.travis.yml](./.travis.yml) can be executed.
|
|
|
|
To install as the default system libraries and binaries
|
|
(overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!),
|
|
on x86_64, run:
|
|
|
|
make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel
|
|
|
|
or on x86 (32-bit), run:
|
|
|
|
make install install-pywrap relabel
|
|
|
|
This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace
|
|
lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your
|
|
distribution. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setting CFLAGS
|
|
|
|
Setting CFLAGS during the make process will cause the omission of many defaults. While the project strives
|
|
to provide a reasonable set of default flags, custom CFLAGS could break the build, or have other undesired
|
|
changes on the build output. Thus, be very careful when setting CFLAGS. CFLAGS that are encouraged to be
|
|
set when overriding are:
|
|
|
|
- -fno-semantic-interposition for gcc or compilers that do not do this. clang does this by default. clang-10 and up
|
|
will support passing this flag, but ignore it. Previous clang versions fail.

macOS
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):
|
|
|
|
cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install
|
|
|
|
This requires GNU coreutils:
|
|
|
|
brew install coreutils
|
