Hi We have a build guide here <https osquery readthedocs io en latest development building >

alessandrogario · Answer

If you are on a recent Ubuntu version you can install the following packages to get started `flex bison elfutils rpm ccache ninja build` Then download and extract the osquery toolchain somewhere <https github com osquery osquery toolchain releases download 1 1 0 osquery toolchain 1 1 0 x86 64 tar xz> Then configure amp build `cmake S lt src folder gt B build DCMAKE BUILD TYPE=RelWithDebInfo G Ninja DOSQUERY TOOLCHAIN SYSROOT= path to osquery toolchain` `cmake build build`

It is best to match the correct version of CMake <https cmake org files v3 17 cmake 3 17 5 Linux x86 64 tar gz> if possible but that s mostly due to a quirk in how packaging works so if you are not going to generate amp redistribute them you can use any version gt = 3 17 `snap install classic cmake` usually has the latest version available

Running the tests requires some Python dependencies they are all documented in the build guide linked in the first message

Stefano Bonicatti · Answer

I would additionally suggest to install the CMake extension in vscode and additional add ` DADD HEADERS AS SOURCES=ON` to CMake so that most of the headers that might be trickier to detect by vscode are seen by it Also remember to put those configuration options in the CMake extension itself so that the extension will configure the same thing you have given from the command line Finally if you are exploring before building you might want to at least build the `prepare for ide` target This is a special target that does some build steps to help the IDE find what it needs because we have to generate some files and wire headers in a certain way

Also worth mentioning that extensions do not have to be in c++ Osquery talks to the extensions over a thrift socket so anything that supports thrift should work We distributed python and golang SDKs The c++ is a little weird And I ve used ruby though we don t ship anything to make that easy
