This file contains instructions to build and install the TSS libraries.

Dependencies

To build and install the tpm2-tss software the following dependencies are required:

• GNU Autoconf
• GNU Autoconf archive
• GNU Automake
• GNU Libtool
• C compiler
• C Library Development Libraries and Header Files
• pkg-config

The following are dependencies only required when building the test suite. Most users will not need to install these dependencies:

• cmocka unit test framework

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt -y update
$ sudo apt -y install \
  autoconf-archive \
  libcmocka0 \
  libcmocka-dev \
  build-essential \
  git \
  pkg-config \
  gcc \
  g++ \
  m4 \
  libtool \
  automake \
  autoconf

Fedora

There is a package already, so the package build dependencies information can be used to make sure that the needed packages to compile from source are installed:

$ sudo dnf builddep tpm2-tss

Building From Source

Bootstrapping the Build

To configure the tpm2-tss source code first run the bootstrap script, which generates list of source files, and creates the configure script:

$ ./bootstrap

Configuring the Build

Then run the configure script, which generates the makefiles:

$ ./configure

Compiling the Libraries

Then compile the code using make:

$ make -j$(nproc)

Installing the Libraries

Once you've built the tpm2-tss software it can be installed with:

$ sudo make install

This will install the libraries to a location determined at configure time. See the output of ./configure --help for the available options. Typically you won't need to do much more than provide an alternative --prefix option at configure time, and maybe DESTDIR at install time if you're packaging for a distro.

NOTE: It may be necessary to run ldconfig (as root) to update the run-time bindings before executing a program that links against libsapi or a TCTI library:

$ sudo ldconfig

Building In A Container

If you are having trouble installing the dependencies on your machine you can build in a container.

$ docker build -t tpm2 .
$ docker run --name temp tpm2 /bin/true
$ docker cp temp:/tpm2-tss tpm2-tss
$ docker rm temp

tpm2-tss is now in your working directory and contains all the built files.
