From Sniper
Jump to navigation Jump to search
  • Get the Sniper source code from our Download page
  • Download the latest Pin kit from the Pin downloads page
    • Extract Pin into sniper/pin_kit
    • Or set PIN_HOME to the location of Pin if you use a different directory or shared Pin location
  • Optional: Set target architecture
    • export TARGET_ARCH=ia32 # default: intel64 (or update Makefile.config)
  • Compile Sniper. Some extra dependencies (a pre-compiled copy of the Python interpreter environment) will be downloaded automatically, so make sure you have a working internet connection when you make Sniper for the first time
    • make
  • Running an application
