Capstone-5.0.9

Introduction to Capstone

The Capstone package provides a disassembler framework.

Capstone Dependencies

Recommended

CMake

Note

make can be used to install the package, but it will not provide files for finding Capstone via CMake. CMake must be used to install those files, so using CMake is highly recommended.

Installation of Capstone

Install Capstone by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -D BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF     \
      -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON      \
      -W no-dev -G Ninja .. &&
ninja

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install
