how to disable sqllite3 #32

Closed smallfish01 closed 6 years ago

smallfish01 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I just install cvechecker and got error:

./configure --enable-mysql-server

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for CONFIG... yes checking for SQLITE3... no configure: error: Package requirements (sqlite3 >= 3.6.16) were not met:

No package 'sqlite3' found.

How can I disable sqlist3 check?

Thank you.

Hi smallfish01,

You can disable checking for SQLite3 with the --disable-sqlite3 option to the configure step.

It's ok, I have installed Cvechecker, many thank you! And now I have another questions, how can I use Cvechecker to check remote server?

Thank you.

With cvechecker you can't check a remote server without deployment of cvechecker. It needs to be run on the server that you want to validate. However, with MySQL support, you can have multiple systems run cvechecker and have the data stored in a central database. The tool will use the hostname (by default) as the differentiating name between the different servers (but this is configurable).

I don't recommend having a MySQL "exposed" widely just for this though. The central database approach was meant to be used in a data center context (trusted network).
