Build & install
The following page explains how to build and install the shadow project. Additional information on how to do this in a container environment is provided at the end of the page.
Local
Dependency installation
This projects depends on other software packages that need to be installed before building it. We recommend using the dependency installation commands provided by the distributions to install them. Some examples below.
Debian:
apt-get build-dep shadow
Fedora:
dnf builddep shadow-utils
Configure
The first step is to configure it. You can use the
autogen.sh script provided by the project. Example:
./autogen.sh --without-selinux --enable-man --with-yescrypt
Build
The next step is to build the project:
make -j4
Install
The last step is to install it. We recommend avoiding this step and using a disposable system like a VM or a container instead.
make install
Containers
Alternatively, you can use any of the preconfigured container images builders to build and install shadow.
You can either generate a single image by running the following command from the root folder of the project (i.e. Alpine):
docker build -f share/containers/alpine.dockerfile . --output build-out/alpine
Or generate all of the images with the container-build.sh script, as if you
were running some of the CI checks locally:
share/container-build.sh
