# Build-recorder

The purpose of this project is

to fully record the interactions

between assets (files and tools)

when a software artifact is being built (compiled).

## Usage

**build-recorder** [-o outfile] command

* outfile: The output file, by default "build-recorder.out".

* command: The original build command with all its arguments.

    * e.g. cc -o hello helloworld.c 

## Description

**build-recorder** is a command line tool for linux 5.3+ that records

information about build processes. It achieves this by running transparently

in the background while the build process is running, tracing it

and extracting all relevant information, which it then stores in the output

file in RDF Turtle format.

A complete schema for the generated RDF can be found in docs/output.md.

**build-recorder** works regardless of the programming language, build system

or configuration used. In fact there is no limitation as to what the supplied 

command should be. If it runs, **build-recorder** can trace it.

## Build

To build it you are going to need the following tools:

* A C compiler

* make

As well as the following libraries:

* libcrypto

### Build from github repository

In order to build from the github repository directly, you are also going

to need

* autoconf

* automake

On the project's top-level directory, run:

```

autoreconf -i

./configure

make

```

### Build from release tarball

Assuming you've downloaded the tarball:

```

tar -xf .tar.gz

cd 

./configure

make

```
