This document will tell you about all the necessary steps to get going.
+These instructions assume you are using a B<bash> shell. If you use csh/tcsh,
+then you can either type F<bash> to switch to bash for the compilation or if
+you know what you are doing just replace the export bits with
+setenv.
+
+We further assume that your copies of B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU
+tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It could be that they are installed as
+B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.

=head2 Building
Before you start to build RRDtool, you have to decide two things:
=back
Once you have decided. Save the two locations into environment variables.
-Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either (bash,zsh):
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.99907080300
-Or if you run tcsh:
-
- set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.99907080300
If your F</tmp> is mounted with the option noexec (RHEL seems todo that) you have to choose
a different directory!
cd $BUILD_DIR
Lets first assume you already have all the necessary libraries
-pre-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
-B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It
-could be that they are installed as B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.

board, just re-run the last line of the instructions above.
But again this may have been too optimistic, and you actually have to
-compile your own copies of the required libraries.
+compile your own copies of some of the required libraries. Things like
+libpng and zlib are pretty standard so you will probably have them on your
+system anyway. Freetype, Fontinst, Cairo, Pango may be installed, but it is
+possible that they are pretty old and thus don't live up to the
+expectations, so you may want to compile their latest versions.
=head3 Build Tipps for AIX
Some libraries want to know where other libraries are. For this to work,
set the following environamen variable
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALLDIR}/lib/pkgconfig
+ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_DIR}/lib/pkgconfig
+ export PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
+
+Since we are compiling libraries dynamically, you they must further know
+where to find each other. This is done by setting an appropriate LDFLAG.
+Unfortunatly the syntax differs from system to system:
+
+=over
+
+=item Solaris
+
+ export LDFLAGS=-R${INSTALL_DIR}/lib
+
+=item Linux
+
+ export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath -Wl,${INSTALL_DIR}/lib"
+
+=item HPUX
-or in tcsh
+ export LDFLAGS="+b${INSTALL_DIR}/lib"
+
+=item AIX
+
+ export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-blibpath:${INSTALL_DIR}/lib"
+
+=back
- setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH ${INSTALLDIR}/lib/pkgconfig
+If you have GNUmake installed and it is not called 'make',
+then do
+ export MAKE=gmake
+ export GNUMAKE=gmake
+
+otherwhise just do
+
+ export MAKE=make

=back
you tell configure where it should be looking for libraries and include
files. This is done via environment variables. Depending on the shell you
are running, the syntax for setting environment variables is different.
-Under csh/tcsh you use:
-
- setenv CPPFLAGS -I$INSTALL_DIR/include
- setenv LDFLAGS "-L$INSTALL_DIR/lib -R$INSTALL_DIR/lib"
- setenv CFLAGS -O3
-
-If you are running bash/sh/ash/ksh/zsh use this:
-
- CPPFLAGS=-I$INSTALL_DIR/include
- LDFLAGS="-R$INSTALL_DIR/lib -L$INSTALL_DIR/lib"
- CFLAGS=-O3
- export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS CFLAGS
And finally try building again. We disable the python and tcl bindings
because it seems that a fair number of people have ill configured python and
cd $BUILD_DIR/rrdtool-1.2.99907080300
./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR --disable-tcl --disable-python

SOLARIS HINT: if you want to build the perl module for the native perl (the
one shipping with solaris) you will need the sun forte compiler installed on
projects / rrdtool.git / blobdiff
