building

Building is done through SConstruct. To build the submodules, you can either run

 $ scons deps

or do it by hand:

$ (cd third_party/crypto; scons lib); 
$ (cd third_party/ssdmap; scons lib); 
$ (cd third_party/db-parser; scons lib); 

Then, to build Sophos itself, just enter in your terminal

$ scons 

issue 1

the version of libssl-dev too high： in bost, the version of libssl-dev is 1.0.0；is yours is 1.1.0，then there will have error can not find the function AES_CTR

the solution is that install libssl1.0-dev by aptitude

firstly add the follow line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main 

then

aptitude update
aptitude install libssl1.0-dev

issue 2

the version of rocksdb too high: in bost, the version of bost is too low, so he use some options which are no longer supported

we just need to comment the error line in his code
