However, if the API had been installed beforehand, DEVICEATLAS_SRC

releases series (3.2.1 minimum recommended).
For HAProxy developers who need to verify that their changes didn't accidentally

For example :
In the deviceatlas library folder :
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sudo make install
In the HAProxy folder :
$ make TARGET=<target> USE_DEVICEATLAS=1
Note that if the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX cmake option had been used, it is necessary to set as well DEVICEATLAS_LIB and

Note that DEVICEATLAS_SRC is omitted in this case.
These are supported DeviceAtlas directives (see doc/configuration.txt) :
