Generate HPM Hook on Linux

Preparations (First Time)

First you have to install Doxygen and Perl. On Debian (Ubuntu) that may be achieved with:

sudo apt-get install doxygen
sudo apt-get install perl

After that, open a terminal at your Hercules root folder and run configure

./configure

note: This is required to be done once after you install Doxygen and Perl so make recognizes that they are installed.

Generating HPM Hook

1. Change directories to tools/HPMHookGen/ folder

   cd tools/HPMHookGen/
   

2. Run make

   make
   

HPM Hooks will be generated.

Troubleshooting: Can't locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC

In case you have the error saying that it can't locate XML/Simple.pm, you should install libxml-simple-perl. On Debian/Ubuntu, you may run:

sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl

Once it installs, you can try running make again and it should work.
