Building SwiftRNG utilities on Linux, CentOS, FreeBSD and macOS

Make sure packages make, gcc, libusb and gcc-c++ are installed before running the build.

Important: due to some issues with the libusb version 1.0.25, we strongly advise installing a libusb version prior to or after 1.0.25.

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, this can be done with the following commands to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0

CentOS and Red Hat

On CentOS or Red Hat, use the following commands to install the required dependencies:

yum update
yum install make
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-c++
yum install libusb*

macOS

On macOS, the libusb dependency can be installed by running the following from the command line (make sure Homebrew is installed).

brew install libusb

Note: Please follow recommendations described at this address for installing the correct libusb version.

FreeBSD

On FreeBSD, use the following command to install the gcc required dependency:

sudo pkg install lang/gcc

Make

To build and install utilities in CentOS, Linux and macOS, you will need to run the following from the command line:

cd linux-and-osx\swrng
make
sudo make install

Make (FreeBSD)

To build and install utilities in FreeBSD, you will need to run the following from the command line:

cd linux-and-osx\swrng
make -f Makefile.bsd
sudo make install

Non-root access on Linux

To enable a non-root user to access the SwiftRNG device, simply copy the supplied 80-swiftrng-usb-access.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ location. You may need to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
