FAQ

I get a fatal error: 'openssl/evp.h' file not found. How can I fix that?

Please install OpenSSL for your system. Use a package manager to make things easier. If you're compiling pev in macOS, make sure you've set both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables according.

I get the one of the following errors when trying to compile with make command:

$ make
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'all'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/pev/lib/libpe'
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2

$ make
cd lib/libpe && /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

It seems libpe is missing. Have you forgot the --recursive switch of git clone command? Anyway, download libpe source code, put it in the right directoy and try again:

cd pev/lib
rmdir libpe
git clone https://github.com/merces/libpe.git
cd ..
make

Please check the online documentation for more details.
