Artifacts

How owLSM build outputs are organized — both during development (build/) and in the release tarball.

---

Build Output (make)

Running make -j$(nproc) builds and packages into build/owlsm/:

build/owlsm/
├── bin/
│   └── owlsm                 # Main binary
├── lib/
│   ├── libelf.so.1            # Required shared libraries
│   ├── libz.so.1              # (auto-detected via ldd)
│   └── ...
├── resources/
│   └── ...                    # Userspace resource files
└── rules_generator/
    ├── create_config.py       # Config creation tool
    └── ...

Unit Tests Output (make test)

Running make test -j$(nproc) builds and packages into build/unit_tests/:

build/unit_tests/
├── bin/
│   └── unit_tests             # Google Test binary
└── lib/
    └── ...                    # Required shared libraries

Release Tarball (make tarball)

Running make tarball -j$(nproc) creates build/owlsm-{VERSION}.tar.gz containing the same layout as build/owlsm/.

The tarball is a self-contained distribution: the lib/ directory includes all non-system shared libraries needed to run owlsm on the target machine, so no additional library installation is required beyond basic libs like glibc and the system requirements.
