Building Pen from source on Debian Linux - UlricE/pen GitHub Wiki

Debian jessie/sid

N.B: Debian keeps up pretty well with releases, so there may usually be no reason to build from source. At the time of writing, this is the version in sid:

root@debian:~/penloadbalancer-code# apt-cache show pen|grep Version
Version: 0.25.1-1

However, here's how one would go about it:

apt-get install gcc
tar zxfv pen-0.27.1.tar.gz
cd pen-0.27.1
./configure
make

Testing:

root@debian:~/Git/penloadbalancer-code # ./pen -dfU 53 8.8.8.8:53

And from another host:

ulric@qvp2:~$ dig @debian +short siag.nu
194.9.95.65
