In this article we'll discuss how to customize your MiNiFI C++ builds to accommodate your environment. Extensions within MiNiFI C++ allow you to specify, through CMAKE, options. We'll go through the current set and update this how to as extensions are added. An added feature for 0.4.0 is the bootstrap process, which can be used to bootstrap a machine using an interactive GUI. The bootstrap script is located in the root of the minifi source tree. Simply run ./bootstrap.sh. It will install dependencies and enable you to select your extensions. Alternatively, you may use the CMAKE options, below, manually.
