Qpid SVN Trunk Build Instructions

Prerequisites

Some of the source is auto-generated from the AMQP spec file. This generator is written in Ruby. In addition, some of the management module code is also auto-generated; this code is generated using Python. Auto-generation is performed by running make (see below); no special steps are required.

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

• boost <http://www.boost.org> (>=1.33) *
• e2fsprogs <http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/>

* 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/>
• gcc <http://gcc.gnu.org/>
• GNU make <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
• autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
• automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
• help2man <http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/>
• libtool <http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/>
• doxygen <ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/>
• graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/>
• ruby <http://www.ruby-lang.org>

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

yum install boost-devel e2fsprogs-devel pkgconfig gcc-c++ make autoconf automake help2man libtool doxygen graphviz ruby

Optional cluster functionality requires:

• openais <http://openais.org/>

Optional XML exchange requires:

• xqilla <http://xqilla.sourceforge.net/HomePage>
• xerces-c <http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/>

Optional SSL support requires:

• nss <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/>
• nspr <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/>

Check out the source

Firstly, check the source for Qpid java out of our subversion repository:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/trunk/qpid/

Autoconf and auto build

First you need to create the gentools and initial set of files for automake and autoconf. Run:

./bootstrap

To build Qpid now run

./configure
make

and finally to make sure all the test pass both C++ and Pyhton run

make check

As a convenient shortcut you can do all of the above steps in one command with:

./bootstrap -build
