Build dependencies on Fedora:
yum install audit-libs-devel bison bzip2-devel dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel flex flex-devel flex-static glib2-devel libcap-devel libcap-ng-devel pam-devel pcre-devel python-devel setools-devel swig xmlto redhat-rpm-config
To build and install everything under a private directory, run:
make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-pywrap
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.
To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):
cd libsepol; make DESTDIR=/usr/local PREFIX=/usr/local install
This requires GNU coreutils (brew install coreutils).
