Laika uses CMake as it's build system and provides several definitions for you to mess around with.

Definition	Description	Example
LAIKA_PUBKEY	Sets CNC's public key	-DLAIKA_PUBKEY=997d026d1c65deb6c30468525132be4ea44116d6f194c142347b67ee73d18814
LAIKA_PRIVKEY	Sets CNC's private key	-DLAIKA_PRIVKEY=1dbd33962f1e170d1e745c6d3e19175049b5616822fac2fa3535d7477957a841
LAIKA_CNC_IP	Sets CNC's public ip	-DLAIKA_CNC_IP=127.0.0.1
LAIKA_CNC_PORT	Sets CNC's bind()'d port	-DLAIKA_CNC_PORT=13337
LAIKA_PERSISTENCE	Enables persistence for LaikaBot	-DLAIKA_PERSISTENCE=On
LAIKA_OBFUSCATE	Enables obfuscation for LaikaBot	-DLAIKA_OBFUSCATE=On

these are all passed to cmake -B <dir>

Linux

Make sure you have the following tools installed:

• CMake (>=3.16)
• Compiler with C11 support (GCC >= 4.7, Clang >= 3.1, etc.)

Simply run cmake to build the makefiles with your configuration.

$ cmake -B build -DLAIKA_OBFUSCATE=On

Now compile the project, the binaries will be in ./bin

$ cmake --build build

Windows

Make sure you have a recent-ish version of Visual Studio installed (I used 2022 community).

Visual Studio provides a cmake interface to generate .sln files for Visual Studio (if that's your thing) through the Developer Command Prompt for VS. Just generate the .sln with

> cmake -B winBuild -DLAIKA_PERSISTENCE=On -DLAIKA_OBFUSCATE=On -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel

Now you can either open the .sln in .\winBuild and compile using Visual Studio, or directly compile from the command line using:

> cmake --build winBuild --config MinSizeRel

Output binaries will be in .\winbin
