Otherwise, the +build process could take a very long time. Note, that the default installation path for the libraries is `/usr/local/lib64`. Many Linux distributions don't include this path as the default one for a library search, so it is advisable to use the following options to `cmake` while building the AWS SDK: ```sh -cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis <aws-sdk-cpp sources> +sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis <aws-sdk-cpp sources> ``` +The `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr` option also ensures that +[third party dependencies](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp#third-party-dependencies) are installed in your system +during the SDK build process. + ## Configuration To enable data sending to the Kinesis service, run `./edit-config exporting.conf` in the Netdata configuration directory |
