I have tried everything I can think of to get this to compile:

Can someone explain to me what needs to be provided either in the CMakeLists.txt or at the cmake cli to build this? Thanks. The readme has no information whatsoever.

I just left a comment in an issue of that repository to see if we can get some engagement from the author and possibly turn this into a plugin. It looks like this is something that was built into Bro but it was ripped out of the internal copy of the repo and jammed into that one.

Here’s the request I left…
