Qpid SVN Trunk Build Instructions

...

Ensure you have the latest devel versions of the following packages installed:

• boost <http://www.boost.org^{Image Removed}> (>=1.33) *
• e2fsprogs <http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/^{Image Removed}>

* There is a patch to get v.1.32 working in the svn tree though that is only recommended as a last resort.

To build directly from the SVN repository you will need all of the above plus the following development tools:

• pkgconfig <http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/^{Image Removed}>
• gcc <http://gcc.gnu.org/^{Image Removed}>
• GNU make <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/^{Image Removed}>
• autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/^{Image Removed}>
• automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/^{Image Removed}>
• help2man <http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/^{Image Removed}>
• libtool <http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/^{Image Removed}>
• doxygen <ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/^{Image Removed}>
• graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/^{Image Removed}>
• ruby <http://www.ruby-lang.org^{Image Removed}>

Hint: To check and install all of the above, use (as root):

...

Optional cluster functionality requires:

• openais <http://openais.org/^{Image Removed}>

Optional XML exchange requires:

• xqilla <http://xqilla.sourceforge.net/HomePage^{Image Removed}>
• xerces-c <http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/^{Image Removed}>

Optional SSL support requires:

• nss <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/^{Image Removed}>
• nspr <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/^{Image Removed}>

Automake vs CMake

Currently we have 2 parallel build systems one using automake the other using cmake.

We are moving towards cmake and will eventually get rid of automake, but for the moment the cmake system is not complete and we have to live with both.

That means if you add a file to the build, you must update both Makefile.am and CMakeLists.txt and check that you can build with both systems as described below.

Build with automake

First you need to initialize the autotools:

...

./bootstrap -build

Build with cmake

mkdir builddir
cd buildir
cmake <path to checkout>/cpp/CMakeLists.txt
make # Build
make test # Run tests

You can also use the interactive ccmake on linux and the GUI on windows to modify the configuration.
