How Do I Build The Network Security Toolkit ISO?

Assuming you've checked out the NST source code under the directory $HOME/nst and you are logged in as root, the following set of commands are used to create the ISO image. It should be noted that by default, we will be using A LOT of space under $HOME/nst/tmp during the build (think GB).

[root@salsa root]# cd $HOME/nst
[root@salsa nst]# ./configure
Configuration is complete. Configured as:

... lots of output ...
 
Use "make" to build src/nst-2.11.0.iso.gz, or "make help" to see
additional targets.
[root@salsa nst]# make

... Lots of output - takes awhile and you may be prompted 
to set the default password ...

[root@salsa nst]# ls -l src/*.iso*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 359458304 Nov 21 09:00 src/nst-1.2.1.iso
[root@salsa nst]# 

Note

The output will change over time, but will resemble that which is shown above. Also, this assumes that you have your development system properly prepared (see the Building the NST ISO for details in regards to building the NST ISO).
