## FAQ

### Is this pev? / What happened to pev?

This repository used to be pev. We just moved the repository from a user account
to an organization account.

We also renamed the repository as the original name `pev` stood for PE Version
and does not reflect the current state of this application. We felt that readpe
was a good name as it is the most prominent tool.

### Where did libpe go?

Libpe has been absorbed into this repository since the two repositories are
tightly coupled and version controling them together made the most logical sense.

### I get a `fatal error: 'openssl/evp.h' file not found`. How can I fix that?

Please install OpenSSL for your system. Use a package manager to make things easier. If you're compiling pev in macOS,
make sure you've set both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables according.

Please check the [online documentation](https://pev.sourceforge.io/doc/manual/en_us/) for more details.

### I get an `error while loading shared libraries: libpe.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`. How can I fix that?

Please refer to ['How to install on Linux'](#how-to-install-on-linux).
